Re: Road Trip Rules and Etiquette

I've traveled with my teen (now young adult) sons. More passenger rules:

- Eating: Don't unless the driver OKs it, you share, and you don't make a mess.

- Farting: Don't, even if you're asleep.

- Belching: See farting.

- Singing: Only along with the driver. Never sing along with your Ipod.

- Ipods: It is a personal entertainment device. If anyone else in the car can hear it, it is no longer personal. Turn it down.

- Legroom: Never ask the driver to move his seat forward. If you need more legroom, sit on the right side and front & rear passengers negotiate quietly. Strangulation of the front seat passenger is not negotiation.

- Shoes: Leave them on. See farting.

- Dashboard: Not a footrest or storage shelf for front seat passenger.

- Luggage: If you can't comfortably sit for 500 miles with it resting on your lap, don't bring it. As a courtesy, we may store it in the trunk if you follow all the rest of the rules.

- Behavior: Driver threats to stop the car and leave you out right here, right now are to be taken seriously. Whatever you are doing, stop it.
