    Maybe without a spotter that driver might just GET OUT AND LOOK!!!! a bit more.

    I never did like my wife helping me back into a spot, and she's been driving longer than I have.

    One thing no one has mentioned is the unknown relationship the two may have. Having had two really bad experiences with co-drivers I can tell you that those two live in a box together, may or may not have been feuding, or for whatever reason don't share a common goal on helping thy neighbor/teammate or whatever the relationship. I know a team who does absolutely nothing to help one another. If someone asks me for help, they will get it.

    You also don't know but what the passenger may have been blind or otherwise handicapped.

    If I was the driver seeking assistance and had somebody mention my passenger when I asked for help, I wouldn't feel compelled to explain their disability.

    There is a difference between needing one and using one if its available. Stop yelling.
