Learn English as a Second Language Without a Backseat Driver

Idiom for the Day

…….a backseat driver..……

A backseat driver does not always sit in the backseat. A backseat driver is someone who tries to direct the actions of many people around them. They could be in a car in the backseat or the front seat, but wherever they sit, they try to tell the driver how to drive and where to go. They don’t limit their comments and directions to drivers. A backseat driver might try to give many tidbits of advice to many different people.
