Be a Good Listener

Common Pitfalls
Don't Force Serious Topics Too Early
Let conversations develop naturally. Don't jump straight to deep, personal questions if people aren't ready for them.
Don't Dominate the Conversation
Make sure everyone gets a chance to share. Road trips are about everyone having a good time, not just one person talking.
Don't Ignore the Driver
If someone is driving, make sure they can participate safely. Consider their attention and comfort level.
