9. Being Unprepared to Alight Prior to Destination:
Its common to see passengers not prepared to alight just before their step out destination.
This put you literally in a rush mode and predisposed to leaving your wallet, phones or other personal belong which must have slipped out of pocket during the course of your journey.
Just before your destination location; try to checked yourself to be sure everything you stepped in with is with you; that you don’t leave anything behind as you step out at final destination. Doing this would put you in control and ensure that everything is with you.
10. Telling the Driver to Speed Even More :
This is one of the most horrible mistakes done by most passengers when in for a ride.
Here, you see passengers asking the driver to hit the gas pedal even harder beyond normal travel speed in other to catch up with late appointment, meetings, flight schedules and so on.
This single act put the two of you and every other persons in the vehicle in higher jeopardy with possible unforeseen circumstance like tire burst, brake failure and other looming doomed that surrounds every car in motion.
You should never request the driver to accelerate beyond comfortable speed level for two reasons except on special cases such as potential attack and life threatening emergency;
- Every driver has a specific speed limit they can comfortable run. Exceeding this speed endangers everyone as he runs the risk of getting out control in slightest loss of concentration.
- Most cars used for taxi do not have full grip and balance to run beyond certain speed effectively without getting a bit swayed and teetered.
The rule of thumb is, always get prepared early enough for your journey, so you don’t put yourself and driver on unnecessary pressure during transit.
