From bike to car... ):

I got off the bike today and had to take my Jeep Wrangler somewhere, not exactly a big vehicle, yet I found myself running over curbs and being unnecessarily far over in my lane. Does/did anyone else have trouble switching back and forth? XD

They're two different skillsets, so no.

I do. I have issues with stopping distances after i've been on the bike for a while.
I also have issues with my lane placement in a vehicle. On my bike i can be a lot closer to the white line, then I get in a vehicle that is significantly wider, and I have to make a point to stay in the lane.

I don't think you're the only one!

I think I've only done it once. Went from a narrow little bike to a massively wide lifted Jeep and took the same road. Cut a corner and hit dirt from misjudging the position of the enlarged wheel.

It's fun, for me, treating my truck like the bike. Learned to take corners smoother than I used to.
