Except so many off ramps aren't even close to circular. I usually end up a foot over the fog line when I take a circular path but I will usually take the smoother path rather than follow the drunken sailor path the construction crew made.

I guess a stick and a string is too high tech for the guys that make off ramps. If nobody rats me out to the wife I'll take some spy video next time she takes an off ramp then myself so I can show you what I mean real world. You can feel it in your gut if you are a passenger also. Any time the driver deviates from a circle or a straight line the car will wobble because the sideways force is at the tire patch so laws of physics means you'll not only get lateral G force but a roll moment also. Each steer input will result in about 3-4 "sway" wobbles as the shocks soak up the spring rebound.

Anybody see a car a car driving without shocks it's hilarious. Talk about car sickness, it was making me nauseous just watching as I followed.

I just remembered the X5 steering wheel too high to use my knee directly as the stiffening agent so I will brace my elbow on the door instead. Go through a long curve with your elbow braced vs. just holding the wheel with one arm and record the g forces with your phone and compare the difference.
