Yeah, I'm already somewhat okay at it as a passenger. Obviously my attention is usually split since I can go rant on Lemmy while the other person is driving, but while I'm paying attention I can usually tell who's going to be trouble. I used to watch the dashcam crash comps, probably bad for anxiety and mental health, but I think that was useful to watch for me. Actually SEEING what can go wrong makes it retain better in my memory, and become a more subconscious thing, where as verbal instructions and learners tests/reading materials need to stay in conscious memory for a lot longer before being utilised subconsciously. At least for me. If that makes any sense
