If you are following a road or river or other feature on the
ground while flying VFR, and that feature runs north/south but
often veers off to one side or the other, are you expected to
change your altitude each time you move from a heading of 0-179
to 180-359 or vice versa?

Why would you follow a road? If you want to follow a road, drive a
car.
Why would you follow a river, rivers end.
Why not fly the plane?



Because he doesn't fly.

Why does everyone get on this guys case just because he doesn't fly?



It isn't because he doesn't fly.
