Have you ever been on a car with a friend or a relative that is a backseat driver? We all know that it is annoying if someone tells you how to drive when you know that you have the same or even greater skill that them. This is your chance to share to the world how it feels like to have backseat driver with you on your trip.

All the time, they are called parents. My friends too to a lesser extent, but they don't bug me about it since they are a little more aware of my past negative auto experiences. The parents always harp for more speed and I usually stop the car whenever they say it (if I have the chance). My other rule is, one word about me doing the speed limit and you can walk to where we are going. Don't wanna walk, fine, I'll stop the car and we'll just sit here! I'm also fond of threatening a return home if people complain about my defensive driving.

In my country, Hungary there's a perfect sentence for this, I try to translate it so good and try to keep the rhymes. "stupid traveller keep in mind, don't chip on my driving style" so when I driving I hate if somebody ask me to move faster when I go really fast and I don't want to play with our lifes, or say where turn when I know the place where we right now. I always try to handle this situation and I start talk about anything else what's interest my backseat driver. I to pity poor taxi drivers, I think this is every day problem for them :)
