Shuffle Steering

. . . . One thing that is disconcerting to me and feels as if it upsets the car is when someone will let the wheel slide quickly in their hands and then abruptly grab the wheel. The car then does this waver/wiggle back and forth thing that doesn't feel to right to me. I think that if you can not be smooth then you should not shuffle steer.

I certainly don't pretend to have encyclopedic knowledge of the subject -- indeed, I was the one who first posted the question about shuffle steering (but after reading a bit about it) -- but I have never read any description of acceptable shuffle steering technique involving letting the steering wheel slide in [both] the driver's hands. I think it is inconsistent with one of the basic principles of good driving, i.e., having at least one hand in firm control of the wheel at all times.
