Your car rules

[rabidmidget]

So driving Escapians (Escapees?), what rules do you impose on the passengers of your car while you're driving?

The main one for me is that I choose music and threaten to kick out people who complain about my music tastes (of course I woud never go through with it...maybe).

 

[Spade Lead]

He who drives decides what music shall be played.

All passengers must wear seat belts at all times.

No smoking in the car.

 

[Dwarfman]

No open booze, no drugs, wear a seat belt, and don't act like a child.

Those are the common sense ones, but yes they need enforcing every now and then. I had a friend who once insisted on winding down the window and yelling copper! to a group of police. When I asked what the hell was wrong with him he had no answer other than 'isn't that what you're supposed to do?'

Some of my personal rules are things like;

-Keep the window down if you insist on smoking.
-Just because I occasionally leave a mess in my car doesn't mean you can
and
-If there's a song playing and you know it, you must sing it. Prefably loudly.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Don't touch my iPod.

I decide on the music we listen to. I will attempt to find something that I want at the time that the passenger(s) will not hate (usually isn't to hard. I've got something for everyone). You may offer suggestions, and they will be taken into consideration. But if you touch my iPod... Not even St. Christopher can help you then.

And seatbelt. Wear that shit.

-If there's a song playing and you know it, you must sing it. Prefably loudly.

We would get along very well.

 

[disfunkybob]

No smoking. *barf*

Passengers not wearing seatbelts will be dash checked.

They don't have a choice about music, the only working controls are on the left side of the steering wheel.

Dogs riding along will stay out of my face or will be dash checked.

 

[IrishBerserker]

Wear your damn seatbelt. NO drinking* or smoking. You can eat only if I say its okay. Pick up your garbage when you leave the car. I decide what music we listen to. And if you piss me off I'll smack you**.

[Kortney]

I don't have that many rules other than no drugs or open alcohol in the car. Oh, and wear a seat belt. I don't want to have someone's death on my conscience because they didn't wear a seatbelt and went flying through the windscreen.

Other than that I am fairly liberal with my car rules.

 

[dmase]

If your gonna throw up get most of it out the window.

No standing on the car while parked... or moving I guess.(this happened and my dad noticed the footprints on the top of the car)

When stopped at train tracks and you get out to take a piss avoid the door as much as possible.

And the most important one no fucking backseat driving.

 

[StBishop]

Do not:
-Touch me.
-Smoke.
-Eat.
-Drink.
-Make incessant noises.
-Be a douche.
-Break any laws.
-Leave shit in my car.
-Break anything.
-Fuck around with the windows; you want it up or down, not both, pick one.
-Kick/push against the back of my chair.

 

[flim.geek.chic]

If you leave in my car it becomes mine. Spent too much gas returning peoples shit after rehersals.

 

[Danish_4116]

My major one is to wear a seatbelt.

I picked my sister up from school once and she was sitting on the back seat behind me. She refused to buckle up saying that it's uncomfortable and I can't tell her to buckle up because "You're not the boss of me" (she was fifteen at the time and still uses child-logic for some reason)

Anyway, I pulled into a side street, accelerated to 40km/h and slammed on the breaks causing her to crash into the back of my seat with a satisfying THUD. She wore her seatbelt after that. In hindsight, that was pretty dangerous, irresponsible and stupid but I got the message across.


Oh yeah, don't touch my radio/ipod, don't touch my fluffy dice, don't touch my coffee and STFU when I turn up the volume on the radio.

 

[PayneTrayne]

If you puke in my car, you buy me a new one.

No, I don't care that you'll clean it. No I don't care if it's only a li'l bit. Gotta stick to your fucking principals mate. You can keep the old pukey one though..

 

[fenrizz]

- There will be no techno/trance or similar music, unless it is Infected Mushroom.

- Garbage is not to be thrown out my window, we will be at a trash can soon enough.

- There is a stereo, with both CD and Radio. Hearing crap music on your crap phone is just annoying.

- You will wear a seatbelt.

 

[WolfThomas]

No falling asleep in the front passenger sleep. I will flick your head if you do (or brake suddeny). Driving with me is not a passive act, your job is to navigate if necessary and engage me in conversation to make sure we both get their alive. You can however choose the music, subject to my approval.

Guys if your drunken girlfriend vomits in my car, you're walking home (it would be un-gentlemanly to abandon a girl in distress) and now you've got an incentive to stop her.

 

[dfcrackhead]

no smoking, give me gas money and you can't complain when I tell you what I've done in the car(if you ASKED for the ride)

 

[ReservoirAngel]

Don't touch my music
Don't be a total douche

and a specific one that applies only to one person:

Don't feel me up while I'm trying to drive

 

[MellowFellow]

First passenger to see the car and yell "shotgun" gets the front passenger seat, other passengers can call "not middle seat". Regarding music, I usually let the person in the front passenger seat choose, because I don't really care very often.

 

[RatRace123]

Where a god damn seatbelt!

I aint gettin pulled over on your account.

That's my number 1 and only rule.

 

[DJDarque]

Always wear a seatbelt. I dash checked my friend once because he wouldn't.

My music. You can suggest, but can only change it if I tell you it's ok.

If there are only two passengers, one of you is sitting in the passenger seat. I don't care if you're a couple; I'm not a damn taxi service.

No smoking.

Pick up your trash when you leave.
