If your question is genuine - which is to say, if you really had a
concern that he was being negligent controlling the train - one wonders
why your own sense of self-preservation did not lead you to ask him
there and then.
There again perhaps it was his own sense of self-preservation which
made him reluctant to ask.

Yes, the driver might be startled and steer erratically.
Reminds me of a joke about the early days of one-person buses.
On the first day of operation there is a terrible crash involving a
double-decker bus, but the [insert racial stereotype] driver is
unharmed.
When the police ask him how the crash happened, he says "I don't know,
I was upstairs collecting the fares".
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather...
