Having been a driver-mechanic in the army before, I have come
across such situations.
Basically, the steering wheel is misaligned because of a few
situations. The simplest situation is that the steering wheel was
not held when alignment of front wheels is being done. This causes
the steering to become totally misaligned.
A good driver will not look at the steering wheel when driving.
Instead, a good driver will use his vision and sensory skills to
determine the direction of the vehicle is heading. On the other
hand, if a driver keeps looking at the steering wheel while
driving, won't it make him more prone to accidents since he is not
concentrating on the road situations instead?
