Passenger

I have a high aversion to riding in cars. Preferably, I am the one in control, the road ruler, the driver. When you're the passenger...
you're jostled and
lurched &
tossed
and unexpectedly made tense
by a turn in the road, a lead foot, a sudden brake employment, a raged driver pulling in front of you, a sighting of a cop car, a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants ice cream pit stop, a urgent need for a bathroom or puking site.
I'd much rather be the driver without passengers.
