I started wondering about this after I failed my driving test twice based on poor road position. Often while I was learning, my driving instructor would complain that I was drifting left, however I thought I was driving straight. His idea of 'straight' was my idea of drifting right.
I have noticed through exercise and self examination that the upper part of my body leans slightly left due to scoliosis (which I was recommended surgery for). Could it be that my perception of driving straight is actually driving slightly left. I am having major trouble with this, despite understanding what I am supposed to do when driving.
Does this sound plausible? Did anybody else have trouble with this when learning to drive. How did you overcome it? Or am I just a bad driver (you can say it!)
