This is exactly what it is happening. As I said, in 1,800 miles, it only happened a handful of times after a quick steering maneuver e.g. to avoid tire debris in the road, for no more than 5 seconds each time.

I usually talk with my hands. . . if I could do that here, I could've saved a lot of typing. :)
