Driving tricks.

[Mactech]

I like to play a game called the fuel number. That's the average MPH added to the average MPG. The highest number wins!
It's normally about 50:50 (ish) but which do you trade to get the highest total?
Best score ever was 132. Best in a limo, 107.
Best without speed limits is 200 + 4 (mpg!) but that's a little extreme not to mention expensive!

A well stocked iPod is all I need, and with wife and kids asleep, there's no arguing over the music!

I just bought a CB radio... I'm hoping chatting with random truckers will keep me awake

Mrs E and kids manage to sleep with the stereo on and me singing to keep awake.....

 

[Satch]

On one particularly memorable nightime journey from Newcastle to Plymouth nobody had problems keeping awake. A good game requiring sharp hearing, quick reactions, good brakes and the abilty to open the tailgate in a few moments.

A game for all the family, it was called "Dog with a gut problem"

Its fun also to see how long the car will go in a straight line before you have to put your hands back on the wheel ...

Can be interesting in the inside lane in the 'truck grooves'

You can play that along with steering with knees/elbows/chin whilst texting/twiddling stereo/satnav/sweet packet/coffee..

I go with sugar free mints.. Rock n Roll

Driving snooker

Play this with oncoming traffic. I use cars only (no lorries or vans)

Spot a red one , score 1 point, see a green - +3points (break of 4) and so on until a white car appears (foul and end of break).

This is good fun with kids who understand the scoring in snooker.

no brown no black either.

Used to turn up the radio/tape to drown out the kids argueing and asking are we nearly there yet.
