Nothing is more frustrating than being driven by someone who in your mind, doesn’t know how to drive or for that matter where they are going. You sit uncomfortably in the seat next to them wanting to tell them the errors in their ways and how much faster, better or smatter your way is. The more you know or think you know about how to get to your destination, the more frustrating it can become. When you see them turn down a different street or head in a different direction, you have to do everything in your power to not burst out with a, “Where are you going”? In complete contrast, if you were on vacation in a location that is foreign to you, the cab driver could pretty much be driving in circles and you would sit in the back like a bobble head doll, smiling without a care In the world. As long as you got to your location in the time you were told it would take, you would be his happy little prisoner.
As we motor through our lives there are those who try to drive and those who understand their not the ones driving. If you spend your life trying to drive, you will be forever frustrated, constantly yelling out, where are you going”? We don’t really know why or where we are going but when we think we do it can make for a very frustrating ride. Life is a foreign country, sit back, relax and let the cabi do the driving. You’ll be shocked to see who was driving the cab in the end and amazed how well he knew where you were going.

I do get the message, really. But on a funnier note, I wanted to respond to your statement:
"Nothing is more frustrating than being driven by someone who in your mind, doesn’t know how to drive or for that matter where they are going"
Yes, There is something more frustrating than that. And that would be being the driver and having the person next to you (who is clearly an insuperior driver - let's say for example, your mother) telling you how to drive.
More frustrating yes and equally testing.
