Well, of course there always are people sitting in the back seat shouting out directions and giving orders all the time – and are aptly called back-seat drivers – but they are, generally speaking, exceptions rather than the rule.
And the rule, once again, is that the back seat is a secondary position, one that is less significant, less responsible and less taken (willingly).
Here are media examples of people who take or are forced to take a back seat, both literally and figuratively:
1. BRITNEY SPEARS was forced to take a back seat on a recent trip to Beverley Hills.
The troubled star was pictured with her new social assistant and driver, while sitting next to one of her boys, but she was not allowed to take the wheel.
Britney was recently banned from driving her kids after being caught speeding through a red light with SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES in the car.
Instead an appointed driver, who looks a happy chappy, took the wheel.
Let’s hope he brings a smile to Britney’s face.

2. Property owners: take note. Oregon is fast becoming one of the most affordable places to invest in ranches, recreational property, timberland and farming real estate. In the past we have been forced to take a back seat to the premier states of Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. In this last decade, these states were considered the best values, the most beautiful and the best overall places to invest in properties of this type. Not so anymore.
