Maybe for the stereotypical American driver, who's fully occupied with his/her cell phone &c. I wouldn't think it would be more difficult than keeping a small plane coordinated: takes a bit of time to learn, keeping your eye on the ball (or the string if you fly sailplanes), but once learned it's like riding a bike.
As for road width being a factor, it depends on the car. My Insight is not all that much longer than a Hummer is wide :-) And if the vehicle is an Aptera-like tadpole, there's even more room.
