How to be a Good Passenger When you Hitch a Ride

Getting a ride from a friend rather then being stuck on a train or a bus is a huge pleasure. You can return the favor by being the best passenger you can, whether in for a long road trip or just a trip down the block.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Step up and be the navigator. Before you even get in the car, have a route planned and a map on hand to assist your driver to the location.

2. Bring music that you know the driver likes. If you don't know, ask beforehand or bring your iPod so you have a large variety of music.

3. In the same vein, if the driver wishes to only listen to her music, let her.

4. Offer to take small tasks off the driver's hands, such as music switching, radio station changing, pumping gas, holding toll money and tickets, and holding drinks or food.

5. Offer to pay for at least one tank of gas and half of all tolls.

6. Pick up your area after you leave the car. Leave it cleaner then when you got in.

7. Stay awake and keep your driver company.
