Trancers (1985)

Corrected entry: Jack Deth is in the past and driving a vintage car. Although he is driving in a straight line as he talks to the girl, he is swinging the wheel wildly from side to side.

Correction: Vintage cars often had a lot of play in the suspension which causes a person to make frequent corrections to keep it in a straight line. I had a 1965 car, with manual steering, that had a lot of side to side movement to keep it in line. Higher speeds meant more movements to keep it straight. This was in a car with a good, aligned front end, in a poorly aligned car, the movement is even more exaggerated.

I think the correction was posted without watching the actual scene (s), because I'd say it is evident that he's not driving a real car and he's doing the old style "Look at me, I am totally driving this car" wheel turn that does not match to the slightest any car movement he'd have to correct.
