Would you comment on someone's speed if you were a passenger?

I can never bring myself to do it.

Last night I was in a cab as he topped 52mph in a 30 zone. I almost said something but figured it's not my place to police someone's driving. Or as a paying customer, is it?

And a few days before that, a friend was driving at 35ish in a 20. Again I said nothing.

Would you?

Quite simply I'd tell you if you don't like it the make your own way there or back.
It's obvious it's not your place to do so, it's not as if the driver isn't aware themselves, and sometimes there is little worse than *****ance.

You could say something like, 'I am in no rush', no need to be confrontational.

Strange comment to make for someone who does it for a hobby.

I had a mate who drove like Miss Daisy (he's a vicar now) and I would continually tell him to get his foot down.

If you're a paying customer, you've every right to comment. A friend is different.

How would I make my own way? On these occasions I had been drinking.

I thought Miss Daisy was too old to drive...? Hence why it's called "Driving Miss Daisy".

That wouldn't be the driver's problem, it would be your problem.
