ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Back-seat driver

A back-seat driver is a person who sits in the back seat of a car and tells the driver what to do. They may say things like "slow down" or "look out for that car!" even though the driver is already doing those things. They can be annoying because they make the driver feel like they're not doing a good job.

It's like when you're playing a video game with your friend, and they keep telling you what to do even though you already know how to play. It can be frustrating, right? That's how a driver can feel with a back-seat driver in the car.

So, if you ever ride in the back seat of a car, be sure to let the driver do their job and just enjoy the ride!
