Default Leaning

Wondering how many people lean in their cars when going around a curve, especially exit ramps and such.

I have to agree. I feel like I am helping the car go around the corner, on / off ramp quicker.

No I don't lean, (strangely my wife does though & she does not ride). my worst habit, picked up from the years driving taxi's, sitting over very casual to one side of the seat, one arm propped on the door & steering with one hand. My wife play mother & slaps me "Sit up straight, both hands on the wheel!" Aw geez.

I like watching/making my passenger (wife) hit the air brakes on her side were they don't exist. If she doesn't I then know I can go faster the next time. hehe
