Don't you hate those people who always give you instruction how to drive the car, and run the road? Once, I drove a couple of co - workers in my car to a restaurant; one of co - workers keep telling me how fast I should go, and where to turn, and where to park is best. I just hate to have him in my car again. I don't like those backseat driver. I can handle it myself.

I do not mind having passengers being aware and telling me what they see as I drive. My husband and I tell each other what we see going on all the time. One may see a situation developing that the other is not aware of.
I wish there had been a person who was watching the traffic, other than the driver. I was in a auto accident as a passenger, and I have often wondered what would have happened had there been someone to spot the situation before it was too late!!
Please be more tolerant of passengers, don't take people voicing their opinions as an attack on your driving skill, but as the helpful advise it is probably meant to be. If you find it difficult to drive while people do this, then simply, kindly inform them of the fact and ask that they remain silent.

This is a really good discussion because everyone has to drive on the roads at some point whether it be going to work,or going to the store to get groceries or going somewhere else,and I am sure that different people have different opinions when it comes to drivers,I am sure that a lot of people do not like backseat drivers and think they are really annoying,and then I am sure there are probably people who do not mind backseat drivers,and just ignore them,and I know that everyone has different opinions,and different ideas,and different preferences so no two people think the same,and I can understand that,and when it comes to me I do not mind backseat drivers because I just ignore them,and I can not say much,because I like being a backseat driver,and I will sit there and give directions when my mom is driving,and all she will say is when you have been driving as long as I have then you can give me directions,which I think it is kind of funny,even though I try not to backseat drive when she is driving,even though the one who needs a backseat driver is my father because he does not use his signal and he speeds like crazy, have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.
