Question Back-seat driver

back-seat driver: a passenger in an automobile who offers unwanted or unasked for advice about driving, especially from the back seat.

(It is also in the Tom
ísimo dictionary...)

My translation could be,

pasajero que importuna al conductor con sus indicaciones.

Any other better ideas?


Any shorter expression?


¿Entrometido, metiche, metomentodo?


(Probably that is a bit more general.)


Any ideas are welcome... even if they come from the back seat!
