In traffic yes, but not all the time.
habit from mountain biking, it feels more comfortable.
habit from having people pull out on me even tho i've seen them look at me.
habit because i'm quicker on the brakes when i need to be.

If it's really cold I'll wrap my hands around the grips, but even then your fingertips will freeze while your palms will be scorching.
The best thing I've found is muffs.
Tucano Urbano muffs are absolutely brilliant (model R361 on my FZS600 '02)
I'd probably be fine with just the muffs and winter gloves, but since I already had heated grips on then I use the muffs, grips on low, and summer gloves.
Toasty hands down to -4 degrees.
I've got these grips and they are fine http://www.jsaccessories.co.uk/dr-bike-d...grips.html
yep agreed, muffs are the only way to stay toasty. if i was riding motorways in winter i'd fit some.
