Although almost everyone does it all the time, when trying to pantomime it without visual feedback, we essentially always forget to turn back to straight and just something like a 45° turn.

The wheel turns back to straight on it’s own with application of acceleration. You don’t turn it back, you let it slide through your hands under light control as the front wheels smoothly reach forward alignment… Whoever did this research doesn’t drive.
The wheel turns back to straight but not the vehicle, so going straight after you’ve turned the wheel to the left keeps you pointed left. If you increase the magnitude of the lane change, i.e. turn it very left then arrow the wheel to return to straight on its own, you have made a left turn. A lane change in more of a dog leg. You’ve really proved their point, but don’t feel bad about it. Most people can’t even pantomime it.
