There's another neat example of this: asking someone with years of car-driving experience to hold their hands out as if gripping a steering wheel and mime the motions necessary to change lanes. [1] The steps are:
1. Turn the steering wheel towards the lane you wish to enter,
2. Re-center the steering wheel,
3. Counter-steer the same amount as in step 1.
Step 3 is what people tend to forget about.

- pwinnski 9y agoFor step 3, I almost always loosen my grip on the wheel and let it mostly straighten myself. So miming wouldn't include nearly as much counter-steering, even if I did remember to mime the whole process.
