The video cuts between a nervous female passenger holding onto the grab handle and pressing an imaginary brake pedal, and a very calm male driver casually sipping from a mug while in traffic. This sequence of contrasting reactions is repeated to humorously depict the common anxiety of being a passenger with a driver who seems too relaxed.
