In my 40+ years of driving i’ve driven almost exclusively manuals.

I have a definite left hand bias for steering input / control.

Yes i still drive with both hands on the wheel but do have a dominant hand.

Meaning i’m not imparting equal input, i switch dominant hand based on need.

I suspect a lot of people drive that way without realizing it.

The car tracks straight even with no hands on the wheel.

Doesn’t pull.

If you are driving down a long straight stretch do you steer the car with both hands the whole time to keep the car going straight or do you impart subtle input to correct any deviation?

I do the later, he seems to do the former and gets into an over correct loop because of a slight drop in resistance TDC.

It’s a small light car so has really light steering to begin with. A 911 it’s not.
