I get in trouble all the time for making suggestions and "Helping Others Drive". A backseat driver you might say. I think it stems from driving a truck early in life and becoming a defensive driver. Always on alert for things that most people don't see. Part of the reason I gave up my motorcycle was the fact that I felt it has just become to unsafe to operate it anymore.
Are you a defensive driver or an offensive driver?
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone
The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.
Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!
How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

unsafe or you becoming a big tit?
Kinda both. lol
And, to avoid backseat driving, *I* usually drive!!!!
Fairly defensive. Today I was out in the field, training a new recruit. On westbound 199 at 820, an SUV merged across 2 lanes and very nearly sideswiped the passenger side door.
My recruit made an exclamation.
I interrupted the story I was telling, tapped the horn and slowed to allow the SUV to merge in front of me.
Then I resumed my story.
No road rage. No harm, no foul.
But, it doesn't mean I'm a pushover. It would be a very big mistake for someone else to, um, try to impose their road rage on me.
When I'm a passenger, I let the driver do their thing, unless there's an imminent danger.
