Things to Remember… In the Car
Posted on: August 5, 2008
v Rest your back and put the seatbelt.
v Look out of your window and observe the things happening around.
v Play travel games if the journey is long – ‘I spy’, ‘Guess the personality’ are some easy-to-play games.
v Avoid looking at people in other cars – if you do so you might find children pulling a face at you.
v Keep a newspaper, comic or magazine handy. You might want to spend some
time reading!
v Do not stretch your legs such that you push the front seat. This annoys the person sitting in front especially if s/he is driving the car.
v Give a break to your eyes; look outside instead of playing a game on the mobile.
v Avoid pointing at things especially if you are sitting in the front seat. By doing so you may be blocking the side mirrors.
v Don’t fiddle with the radio or other devices as it may distract the driver and cause disturbance.
v Get off the car to assist the driver in case s/he is unable to park the car.
