The forces that make a passenger speed up, slow down, or
turn a curve are the same forces that have the same effect
on the driver and anybody else in the car.

-- Speeding up . . .

the back of the seat
friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants

-- Slowing down . . .

the seat belt
friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants

-- Turning away from a straight line . . .

the seat belt
friction between the car seat and the seat of your pants
the door, or whatever or whomever you're leaning against
