If you have a car that pulls to the right, you can compensate for this by steering to the left.

If the car is in fact travelling straight down the road while you're doing this, and a backseat driver says "you're pulling to the left, that's not a safe way to drive", are they correct?

If you have a car that pulls to the right, do you keep chopping parts off of the right side to make up for it?

Yes, that is not a very safe way to drive.

Cars pull to the right by design, but assuming they didn't, shouldn't you get the tracking adjusted?
