One of the earliest skills that need to be learnt with trials riding is to be able to turn the bike on full lock without using your feet on the ground, I realize that on trials and trail bikes you can stand up but its still a throttle/clutch/balance skill and have got their place with road bikes too, Its these skills that can very helpfull when doing things like a "U" turn on a street. wider bars are certainly an advantage here but its just a matter of practise.
Remember the bike will always want to go where you look(unless the laws of physics or gravity have taken over) its the same as always looking ahead to the exit or as far as you can see around a corner and the bike will automatically set itself up to go there, try it in a roundabout. If you are genuinely wobbling a bit then maybe you are going a bit slow but this of course may be because of the traffic congestion (Im glad I live and work in the country)
I will also endorse the suggestion of a back to basics type riding course (Cost permitting)
Whatever you do, ride safe and enjoy. Remember, NEVER EVER let yourself be forced out of your own comfort zone.
