My landlord suggested that i drive to the cinema tonight. It's the second time i've driven there now which is fine because he's driven to the pub etc, too.

SERIOUSLY STOP TELLING ME HOW TO DRIVE, THOUGH!

'You need to speed up at this roundabout Paul. You do know that they don't wait for anyone?'

EXCUSE ME - WHY DON'T YOU F*CK OFF!

If someone wants to smash into my car they flipping well can. It'll be their fault not mine!

Then there's the constant mutterings about me sticking to the speed limit! I've moved to a new area ffs - there's a speed camera every 100 yards in Birmingham!

As it happens his driving is nothing short of atrocious.

Don't get me started on the french student who manages to get away with never buying a round of drinks whenever we are out either!

Rant over!

Kill 'em all, backseat drivers should all be chucked into the middle of the M1 and run over repeatedly by convoys of big heavy trucks.

Darren is most certainly not my god!

Agreed, especially ones that criticise your driving when it's obvious to you both that you are a vastly superior driver.

Outside-left

Try having someone on the back of your motorbike try tell you what they think are the right directions.

If you can handle that without sliding the rear tyre out at the next roundabout to sh*t them up, you're a better man than I.

I aim to misbehave

my fathers a mechanic and every time he's in my car, he's either being a backseat driver or he starts investigating any little noise he hears, analysing what could be wrong, then asking me questions about the engine which I dont have a clue about. You're a mechanic. I am not. I dont know what a CV Boot Joint is, and even if I did, I very much doubt that I'd occasionally check it because I have bigger problems than a part of a car which sounds like a fake name you just said to confuse me.

And my cars a petrol, his is diesel. Anytime I'm driving his car he asks if I find a big difference between them, since ones petrol and the others diesel. Yeah, your car has seat covers.

Mal: Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?
Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just.

My dad was a mechanic for thirty years and I used to have exactly the same problem with him. On the plus side, however, if something actually was wrong, we could get the parts from the scrapyard and fix it ourselves on the cheap. Saved me a fortune over the years, that did.

Me?!

Wire brush and dettol to the eye usually sorts the problem out. They may still tell you how to drive but at any rate, at least your eyes don't sting like Satan's unholy a*sehole after a hellish vindaloo

Now our history is for sale....

I'm actually the worst backseat driver EVER. I can't help it. my boyfriend is constantly telling me off but he is ALWAYS going too damn fast for my liking and I get really nervous when he takes some corners.

He drove over a traffic cone in tescos carpark the other week and it got stuck to the wheel. Now I COULD have got out the car and helped him, but I was more content sitting in the nice, warm, dry car laughing at him along with everyone else in the carpark...

I might not be able to drive but I know crap driving when I see it

I only want you to see
My favourite part of me
And not my ugly side
Not my ugly side

equality, tolerance & logic

solution would be to let the Backseat Drivers to drive and then reverse the roles.
