We've all driven with backseat drivers in the car. No matter who they are, they ALWAYS know how to drive better than you. Who among us haven't heard some of the following?: Speed up. Slow down, you're going to get us all killed. Pass that truck. Why did you turn there? Why didn't you turn there? Why are you getting on the highway? Don't you know it's rush hour? You should stop and ask for directions. Merge! Merge! Merge! Look out! Watch that car! Use your turn signal! Did you even look before changing lanes? The list goes on and on.
One of the worst backseat drivers in the history of automobiles was my Grandma Meyer. She was constantly saying, "Watch it, George!" or sucking in her breath in sudden alarm. She was a wonderful woman, but she would drive anybody crazy as a backseat driver. The funny thing was, she wasn't such a hot driver herself. In fact, she was a much better driver from the backseat than she was behind the wheel.
I thought of my grandparents when I saw the cartoon below:
