The roles of each car passenger

By now, if you had planned to go out of town for Undas, you're already at your chosen destination.

The drive to get to where you are now likely wasn't as pleasurable as it usually is any other time of the year. It's difficult to enjoy rare long vacations like these when it feels like the entire city you're escaping from is also coming with you.No doubt, traffic was heavy, and the pace much slower. Nonetheless, you've arrived. It's certainly clear the drive back will not be easy either.

While there is some heavy burdens put on drivers, I've found that the best way to enjoy drives like this, in spite of the traffic and peak tourist season, is to divide the in-car duties.

Delegate duties

Chances are, most of the passengers believe that there's nothing obligated of them during the drive, other than to sit in the car, and possibly sleep. However, to ensure the drive is safe, and the driver is kept alert, it's actually quite a good practice to involve all of the car passengers by assigning them a task.

Front passenger

Naturally, the driver's duty is to simply drive. To ensure he / she stays awake and alert, it's always better to delegate some other usual aspects of driving to the front passenger.
