Cornering direction bias?
I was talking with one of my motorcycle friends this afternoon, and he raised the point that most people corner tighter in one direction than the other. For example, he always leans farther to the right than to the left, despite the fact that his bike has more physical clearance to turn to the left.
Then I asked the question -- do car people do the same thing?! Do I turn harder into one side then another? I think, in reviewing my driving, I probably pull harder into the left-handed turns, and give myself slightly more room when turning to the right. But then, I could just be deluding myself.
Anybody have any comments on this? Is this a known issue that serious drivers deal with regularly, or is it just some silly myth? Do you have a corner bias?
