most of the time if i was car pooling for a long journey i won't sleep and will keep chatting with the driver...it's not rude to sleep but it's better not to...since we understand it's very exhausted to drive for long journey and we should keep the driver fresh and focussed lol...
I think you should do your best to stay awake to keep the driver company, but if you fall asleep I don't think it's rude. And plus you stayed up preparing food for the trip.
not rude.. is only rude if you did not contribute anything.. but you did, you prepare food.. so don't feel bad la
Well no because a) you have a reason why you was tired b) your a passenger and the job of the passenger is to enjoy the ride and that inc. sleeping ^^
i don't think its rude...what else can you really do?? not like the driver is talking to your or anything. but if you were talking to the driver,,,then i guess just make sure he/she won't lose attention from the road.
I fell asleep once in the car and then woke up when I felt the girls hand all over me... hehe. if u sleep, then who is helping him/her watch the road????
Aren't you supposed to be the one watching the road if you are the driver? <_< Anyway, I only sleep if I have nothing to talk about or if the driver is the quiet type. And if we travel in a group, I usually listen more than I talk... -cool2
It depends, I think if the group has clear understanding of each person's part (some driving, some prepare for food etc) it's okay. However, it's always nice to stay up and talk to the driver -- I usually don't sleep on a long ride (except of course, on tour buses and greyhounds) I would expect out of the 3 of you NOT driving should take turns staying up, spelling for each other so that everyone can get some rest while the driver do not feel all alone...
It's not rude if the driver doesn't seem to care. If the drivers were your parents they probably would not have cared at all.
i dont know why theres any reason to feel guilty. like others said, its absolutely fine. ask them if you can sleep if youre afraid. as a driver on long journeys myself, im happy that theyre asleep, that way, i can listen to music, not worry about talking.
no not rude. i once had to drive for like 6 hours with four other guys (i'm a girl) and they did nothing but talk about hockey for the entire time. all i wanted to do was beat then over the head so they would pass out and go to sleep.
Definitely not rude. If the driver really wanted to sleep they could have easily just stopped to the side and take a nap then, or switch places with one of yous
