Do pilots follow the white lines on taxi-ways or swing wide as truck/trailer
drivers must do? Are they just a night aid?

I follow the yellow taxiway centerline, unless doing shallow S-turns to
check the gyros and compass.

or flying a tail dragger (conventional geared aircraft) and need to s turn
down the taxi way to make sure no one is in front of you, but then again..
you would not have a nose wheel with which to follow the stripe..
