A Rant: Bossy Passengers

By Makenna Petress

    Something that makes me mad is when you are driving and you have someone in the passenger seat and say you're going to turn, and then the passenger looks left and right for you. I'm the one with the steering wheel, so I'm the only one who should be doing the looking. Also, when people do this it makes me think that they do not trust my driving so if they are going to look left and right for me then they should've driven themselves. Another thing I hate is when I’m approaching a red light. I start slowing down and place my foot on the brake. All of a sudden the passenger gasps and says “Slow down.” My foot is quite literally on the break, I AM slowing down, and you're freaking out for nothing. As a passenger, your job is to control the music, sometimes control the AC, give me directions, and hand me food if I'm driving. Do not tell me how to drive if you are not behind the steering wheel.
