    Default Road rules

    Do you have any rules for what passengers can or cant do in your car/while you're driving?

    No smoking is the only one I have but im sure this will change after the first time someone drops food or spills a drink which has yet to happen

    No smoking. No eating. No drinking. No breathing. No moving. Get out of my car. I don't have a car.

    I don't know too many smokers, but the few times I am giving a ride to one I don't allow it. I never had trouble with this, but don't mess with my iPod or radio. I do have a buddy that always asks if we can listen to something else when we are in my car, which kind of irritates me occasionally, but it's not a big deal.

    Usually the rule in my car is you can choose any song thats on my iPod unless Im in a good mood, then they can put their mp3 players on assuming I dont hate thier taste in music

    Shion and I put a mixed playlist on the IPod to try and avoid that.

    It doesn't always work because she skips a lot of her songs and I don't skip too any of mine, so it can turn into all my music.

    Eating is okay in my car as long as you're careful and don't leave crumbs everywhere. And don't leave your wrappers in the floor, please.

    I don't get opposition often, but seatbelts are also required.

    No smoking and wear a seatbelt. It's sad that wear a seatbelt is the sort of rule that needs to be explicitly stated sometimes. But it's me getting the fine if we were pulled over so as long as it's my ass, they're wearing one. Some people I honestly wouldn't care to much if they went through the windshield.

    Just no smoking. I don't care about food or drink in my car and I might actually encourage spilling on me seats because it would be encouragement to get new seats since I hate my seats.

    I don't eat in sharky's car because I know he's nervous about that, but my car? Heck yes.

    I do need to clean out my car. It's a mess because I can't bring myself to pay attention to it for too long because I keep seeing the backseat and remembering my son was in there and then I get sad, so it's a big mess from when I had stuff out to easily get to him to keep him entertained and the rest was just lazy depression.

    And seatbelts of course, but I don't think that will ever really be an issue.

    Seatbelts, front seat passenger is the Navigator whose responsibilities include tuning the music appropriately (no pop, rap, or country), giving directions and other miscellaneous tasks, Slug Bug rules apply everywhere and always when inside the vehicle, and Chinese Fire Drills at every stoplight (I don't actually do this but I wish I did).

    I don't care about smoking and food so long there are no traces of either after the passengers have left. But no throwing cigarette butts out the window. You will put them out in the ashtray and then empty the ashtray or you will not puff. The smell of smoke goes away pretty quickly and doesn't do any harm to my car that I can tell.

    No, this can't be another Just Utah thing! I swear it's a real thing that people do.

    "Chinese fire drill" is a slang term for a situation that is chaotic or confusing.
    The term is also used to describe an American college prank (also known as red-light green-light) performed by a vehicle's occupants when stopped at a traffic light, especially when there is a need to swap drivers or fetch something from the trunk. Before the light changes to green, each occupant gets out, runs around the vehicle, and gets back inside, but not necessarily in their original seats. If one of the participants lags, the others may drive off without him or her.
    It's musical chairs for when you're at a stoplight and everyone gets out and runs around the car yelling and screaming and waving their arms until the light turns red and you jump in the car by whichever door is closest to you. We used to do them in school when we were caravaning with packed cars and it was a lot of fun!

    Except I just read on Wikipedia that it's considered an offensive term and now I feel like a jerk.

    "Don't you tell me how to drive or I will drive my foot up your butt."

    "If you throw that out the window I will throw you out the window."

    I have no other rules.

    You just reminded me of why I hate having my dad in the car. He's not as bad as he used to be, and he does
    t get mad, but there is ALWAYS something I could be doing better.

    in case of short trips: My car, my music :3
    in case of long trips: we can bargain

    you take all your trash with you wen you leave the car.

    if you sit next to me, you are my assistent

    now that i see it in previous post: I am the one driving, so dont tell me how to!
    just like last night when i was riding home in the middle of the night, my boyfriend: '' speed up dammed!!'' i was riding 110km/h .. instead of 130.. but it was raining and road seemed to absorb the water -.- ..
    safety first! dont tell me how to drive!

    I for one actually welcome criticism while im driving (particularly if it saves fuel), though if I disagree with their advice I will argue until they admit they are wrong.

    I usually have a bag for trash so dont throw stuff out the window!
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!
