Well, the lesson here is to use the right tool. DeepL, Google Translate, and Microsoft Translator all get this one right on just the term alone, and I'm sure even fringe translators would get something with a little more context right--a sentence like, 証言者は、事故を起こした運転者が蛇行運転していたと言いました。
Use Jisho instead for terms, or one of the JMDict-wrapped extensions like Yomitan.
