Etiquette is a rule of conduct. Depending on the position in society, they can be different. Often, by how a person behaves in a particular place, one can judge about him and his upbringing.
Rules of behavior
Anyone should know how to use etiquette. It is advisable to remember him always, wherever he is: on a visit, on the street, in a theater, at school, on an airplane, at a stadium, in a restaurant, etc. Each of the public places has its own rules of conduct. They are different from each other.
Modern man cannot imagine himself without a car. Someone drives it himself, and someone uses it as a passenger. In both cases, principles of behavior have been established - automotive etiquette.
Driver and passenger
There is a certain chain of relationships between the driver and the passenger. The driver should always open the door of his car if he has a passenger. It is especially important when it is a woman or an elderly person. The lady should definitely give her hand.
A female driver may not adhere to this. She has the right to choose how she should behave. A woman driver can only do this with great respect for the person she puts in her car or for an elderly person.
The male passenger decides for himself how to get into the car. Here the driver is not obliged to strictly apply the requirements of car etiquette.
How to get into the car correctly
A woman, getting into a car, should adhere to the existing rule. It is advisable to remember him for reasons of etiquette. And also, it's just convenient. She first sits on a chair, and then brings both legs into the salon. And you need to get out of the car in the reverse order: first, put your feet on the asphalt, and then, with the help of the driver's hand, leaning on your feet, get out of the car.
Seats in the car
To choose the right place in the car, you need to know which places are considered the most important and honorable. In a private car, the place of honor is the one next to the driver. The next most prestigious, which is located diagonally from it. Then - the seat behind the driver.
The prestige of seats in company cars is slightly different. As a rule, security guards, translators, and tour guides sit next to the driver. And the diagonal seat in these cars is considered prestigious.
If you are taking a taxi, then you should choose a seat diagonally from the driver. Here it is not only honorable. Sitting on this seat, the passenger lets the taxi driver know that in this situation he is not going to discuss any topics with him.
Speaking about the importance and prestige of places, according to the rules of etiquette, it is also necessary to take into account the gender, status of a person, his age and position in society.
It is possible that it is not so important to observe etiquette in the car. But compliance with it makes any trip in the car more comfortable and enjoyable. Therefore, it is still better to behave correctly.
