0 A back-seat-driver is actually a person who tries to verbally steer the car and make driving related decisions for the driver, often this person sits in the back. Someone who thinks he can do it better or openly shows his lack of confidence in the drivers ability. These are most often people who are used to being in control or like taking it.
