Teach citizens to be good back seat drivers online

Similar to First Person Shooter games, except this one is educational and no weapons. You just choose all kinds of distractions like a pointing finger, or showing the driver something important on your mobile phone just when the driver is about to enter a high speed freeway.

You are expected to make the driver notice the bicycle rider who'se on the wrong lane wearing clothes that camouflage him and make him dangerously invisible.

If you aren't helpful enough you end up taking a wrong turn and coming 5 minutes late to the important meeting.

I like this.

Higher levels would also have the grumpy egotistical driver who takes any "help" from the back seat as personal criticism. "umm... I think there's a child playing with a football concealed behind that bus" "I saw them already, thank you very much. Do you think I'm blind? mind your own fecking business you wouldn't have a clue how to drive safely you loser" <increases speed and pulls closer to the car in front whilst glaring at you over their shoulder>

Is there a nervous teenager driver instructor mode?

My wife would slay at this.

You'd think the fact that the only accident I've ever been in, in more than thirty years of driving I caused on purpose to avoid a three car pile-up, would factor in to her commentary...

...but nope.

She would totally excel at this.

PS. don't ever try explaining to an insurance company that you caused an accident on purpose in order to save them money.
They won't listen.

...

Yes, I'm sure.

Was your wife with you when you caused that purpose? I mean when you caused that accident?

Nope. I threw my truck into reverse to avoid being in a pile up and slammed into the car behind me instead.
It made no difference that the amount of damage I caused was miniscule compared to the damage it was going to be if I my reflexes has been slower.
If you're in reverse then any accident is automatically your fault.
