driver. Do not enter a car by the road, especially while going far; rather, go to the park. Do not take smelly goods to the vehicle. Don’t forget to wear your seatbelt at all times. If you think there is an emerging danger, let the driver know, but do not shout, panic or try to grab the steering or handbrake. Don’t slam the door; always check before you close the door because someone’s hand or leg may be close. As we all know, going on a journey is part of human activities. It is done on a daily basis, therefore, there is the need to provide some tips for passengers.
