Quote by Margaret Thatcher
I shan't be pulling the levers there but I shall be a very good back-seat driver.
Summary

However, they imply that they will still exert a significant influence or offer guidance from a position of lesser authority. The phrase "back-seat driver" typically refers to someone who gives unsolicited advice or critiques while not actually driving the vehicle. Therefore, the speaker suggests their intent to assert their opinions or suggestions despite not being in a position of power or decision-making.
