Not not mention that they tug the steering wheel back and forth as if they were playing real life frogger just to signal that they are "busy doing something". This doesn't make sense either.

My personal "favourite" is the driver constantly turning to face the person on the other seat because they are having a conversation, you see.

Is Hollywood intentionally normalizing this dangerous behaviour? Assholes

It always seemed to me like there was a simple solution. Record the steering wheel movements of the stunt car. Use a motor in the fake car to replay the steering wheel movements.
