Do sleeping passengers annoy you while you are driving?

They do annoy me cause they dont involve in a conversation nor let me play some heavy metal music

No as along as they don't overpower the engine-noise.

As long as they allow me to play my own music and have my usual sleep busters while driving... I am fine

what kind of scary music you guys listen to that keeps you awake

muralisk · 22nd January 2010, 21:16

In fact, I really love when people does take these naps.

vinaydas · 22nd January 2010, 21:26

love it when people sleep in the car.
because that is when i can actually listen to the music i want to.Else most of the time the passengers are fiddling with the stereo ,changing tracks /settings not letting songs finish etc.
during long drives i just let my passengers sleep and put some pink floyd and watch the time fly

well it depends on co passenger. if my fellow passenger is enthusiastic person with lot of new things to tell, i want him/her to be awake. else if prefer him or her sleeping instead

vinaydas · 24th January 2010, 09:41

well its a totally different story when im traveling in bus and a passenger whom i barely know drowses off and leans to my shoulder!!
well at times like these i feel like waking up the guy and giving him a tight slap.

No, not at all

In fact, its good that they sleep, translating to we giving them a ride that is comfortable enough to sleep

Since I like to drive alone, sleeping passengers is a bliss.

asdon · 24th January 2010, 10:47

I love sleeping co-passengers

. Normally for long drives I plan them in night, so I could get the roads clear, I get a good 5-6 hrs sleep before travel, and when I drive fellow passenegrs got to sleep. By this I can concentrate more on driving, but for small trips during day time I don't mind them chit-chating..

chiragh_bir · 24th January 2010, 10:58

sleeping passengers are generally my parents and when they go off sleep i get a chance to speed up

!! LOL

I have no problem whether the passenger sleeps or awake. When I feel sleepy after very long drive. I park in a good restaurant and take a nap of 30mts to 60 mts depends on the type of passengers. After that nap it will cruise safely.

They annoy me only when they are asleep in the front seat on long/inter-state trips. During those times I prefer to have them buckled up in the back seat. Most of the time it's the wifey who is alseep in the front seat, and we all know you can't argue with the home-minister
