So what is even more dangerous than DWI or Texting while driving? How about having a backseat driver?  Not just any backseat driver will do though only that special person who seems to refuse to believe the laws of physics and decides to shoot the driver while on the highway.  As a tip to anyone having an argument with the driver while on the highway. Don’t shoot him until after the vehicle has come to a complete stop or better yet just win the argument with your rapier wit and stunning logic.

If you are a driver faced with an unruly backseat driver then try these tips to keep from getting shot:

  1. Distract the passenger with a subject that they would be interested in. In this case maybe a stirring discussion on the type of hand gun each person prefers or what happens when a car going 65 MPH suddenly loses its driver.
  2. Use a little humor to lighten the mood and get your point across.  I am guessing that the passenger in this case was lacking in that department.
  3. Turn up the radio so you can’t hear the person.  In this case I am certain by playing “My Heart Will Go On” by Celine Dion and making sure to hold the high notes extra long the passenger would have shot himself instead.
