I have pulled over and told back seat drivers to get out. They get one apology and told that they will not get another chance. The next time they pester me, they will be standing by the side of the road.
Taking share-ride everyday, sitting in the backseat, I’m keenly aware about being a backseat driver. But many of the drivers aren’t familiar with the area, and Lyft/Uber apps show the drivers the short way, but not the best way. So when I tell them a better way I follow it up with “Not trying to be a backseat driver”.

My car came with a mother-in-law. The dash board says “Passenger side airbag on”.

Maybe see how well she does from the trunk.

Yeah, I lose patience fairly quickly with a back seat driver myself, so I don’t offer any driving thoughts.

Which is why mother-in-laws should ride like a deer, strapped over the front right bumper of the car.
