"That truck doesn't see us he is going to run right over the car"
"Don't turn that fast"
"Watch out for that car" (somebody is turning 6 blocks ahead of us)
"Everybody is staring at ME"


All of this is accompanied by frantic door grabs and stomps on an imaginary brake pedal every single time another car is in sight.


Mind you she has also become that little old lady driver from hell that will not do anything beyond 5 MPH under the limit, hammers on the brakes and stops if she even thinks the light may change to caution, stays at least 10 car lengths back from anybody in front of her, comes to a complete stop before turning right into a lot and will rip your head off and shit down your neck if you point out any of these actually dangerous actions to her!

That whole list describes my dad to a T. He'll begrudgingly ride shotgun, but is only truly comfortable when he's the one who gets to drive.
