What you want to do to avoid that is always hold the wheel with both hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock, and adjust the seat's position so you're sitting close enough to the wheel to be able to turn it through about 200 degrees (i.e. a good half-turn) without taking your hands off. Avoid holding it in a death grip; hold it lightly to get maximal feedback from the wheels. Look for track/autox videos where the camera is mounted between the seats and you can see the wheel and the driver's hands to see how it's done.

And on public roads always leave the nannies on. But you already figured that part out
