Going right back to the original post...
If you're struggling holding a straight line, you will probably find that it's down to one of two things. Where you are looking or your grip on the wheel.
You'll know all about target fixation from riding and the effect is just the same in a car. Look further ahead and move your eyes around more (left, right, ahead, close and so on - don't just follow the car in front of you). As for your grip, it may be that you're holding the wheel a little tightly. Relax. Fingertips is all it really needs when following a straight path.
Of course, it may be something completely different but in my experience, these are the two most common reasons.
