Patient: I was giving advice to my friends who were playing tennis last Saturday but they called me a backseat driver. Can you explain to me how it relates to being a driver?
Doctor: A backseat driver refers to an annoying passenger offering unwanted advice. Used it figuratively, it means that the person is fond of intervening others, especially when the instruction is quite meaningless or unwelcome.
Patient: Thanks Doctor. It reminds me of the saying “Speech is silver but silence is gold”. I need to bear this in mind.
