Why are some people such backseat drivers?

Why do some people get so edgy and bossy while being driven, always having to question why you're driving like this or that, criticizing how you drive, and questioning why you turned here instead of there? If any of you responding to this post have the habit of being backseat drivers, I'm just curious, why are you?

    Maybe you're a SHITTY driver, the kind we'd all like to RAM off the road?

    Because the person driving is a bad driver... making stupid driving decisions, blocking the flow of traffick, not signaling...almost like they passed the driving exam with the bare minimum.
    They really should make people have to pass the driving test with 95% or above.

    If the driver isnt being dangerous, or extremely inefficient I will keep my mouth shut. Mostly though, I just go ahead and drive, but on road trips I have to have a break sometimes, so taking turns driving is necessary.

    My mother in law does this a lot. The funny thing is that she has me or my husband drive when we visit because she hates driving but then criticizes me or him the whole time we are driving.
    Next time it happens I'm tempted to say "if you don't like my driving, then you drive!"

    Because they are of the opinion that their driving skills are superior to the current driver. Or it could be that they are nervous passengers.

    Regular drivers who are passengers aren't in control of said metal box on wheels & don't like that.

    • Yes it’s all about lack of control. It’s the main reason ppl freak over air travel. I was like that in the beginning, now I get my best sleep at 30,000 feet.

        I'm jealous, I've never been able to sleep on planes.

    Because women are still basically incompetent when behind the wheel. Real man or computer, bitch gonna fuck up.
