Why is it that when I’m driving and make a sharp turn my passengers feel the force of the turn way more than I do?

I know it has to do with laws of motion but I don’t understand why they aren’t applied in the same way to the driver.

In addition, the driver seat typically is designed to limit driver motion more than any other seat in the car. This isn’t just for comfort but because the driver has to control the car and therefore should stay in the best position to do so.

One easy, but not quantifiable test, to show the importance of bracing your body against the car, is to sit in the middle of the back seat. Without a door for support you will be pushed side to side with most every turn, even if they are not that fast.
