Dear passengers you should never break this 5 rules
Follow this passenger etiquette to keep all your friends and maintain a happy in-car environment.
If you want to ride in the passenger seat (‘shotgun’) there are certain rules you must be aware of.
Everyone hates a back-seat driver. But there are many other annoying things passengers do that can get under the skin of drivers. If you commute often with friends or family, you’ll recognise the below responsibilities that aren’t taken seriously.
The Aux Cable
The auxiliary cable connects your media device to the vehicle’s sound system. Those who hold it are responsible for the auditory enjoyment of everyone in the car. TIP: Keep a driving playlist of the best driving songs on standby so if your passenger is not performing as ‘car DJ’ you can take action. The same applies for Bluetooth connection.

Car Doors
Some passengers just don’t understand how irritating it is when someone gets in (or out) of your vehicle and slams the door. Unless the car door cannot close properly, there’s no need to close the door with huge force. TIP: Don’t slam the door.

HADOUKEN: Doors are designed to be closed, not slammed.
Air Conditioning
During the summer this simple feature can make or break friendships if not used correctly and fairly. Agree on a temperature and sick to it, if there is ever an argument the drivers wishes take priority. TIP: Keep your car cool during the summer while parked to avoid heated arguments.

Radio Tuning
Similar to the aux cable, music playing in the car can be the difference between an enjoyable journey and a nightmare commute. Use the presets set by the owner of the car as these are more likely to be decent radio stations with good signal strength within the area. Never reprogram the presets the owner has set. TIP: Use the scan function to find nearby stations.

Eating and drinking
Okay, so there’s no hard and fast rule when it comes to the fast food drive-through. Does the driver order on behalf of the car, or does the passenger lean over to order their meal? Eating in the car is legal as long as you ask the driver first, but please do not chew with you mouth open or make any annoying chewing noises as this can drive some travelers crazy. TIP: Buy the driver’s meal as a thank you instead of offering petrol money.
