What Are the Etiquette Rules for Riding in a Sedan?
1 Answers
In-car seating etiquette can be summarized as "four priorities and three principles." Details: 1. Four priorities: Guests, elders, leaders, and ladies are given priority, and these four groups should be seated in the most honored positions. 2. Three principles: Convenience, safety, and respect are the guiding principles for seating arrangements, with "respect as the top priority" being the most important. Below is more detailed information: 1. Seating in a sedan: When driven by a chauffeur, the right rear seat is the most honored, followed by the left rear seat, then the middle rear seat, and the front passenger seat is the least honored. 2. If the owner is driving: The front passenger seat is the most honored, followed by the right rear seat, then the left rear seat, and the middle rear seat is the least honored. 3. When the owner and spouse are driving: The owner and spouse sit in the front seats, while the guest couple sits in the rear seats. Gentlemen should assist their spouses by opening the car door for them to enter first, then entering themselves. 4. If the owner and spouse are giving a ride to a friend couple: The invited male friend should sit in the front passenger seat, while his spouse sits in the rear, or both may sit in the rear seats. 5. When the owner is driving alone with one guest: The guest should sit next to the owner. If there are multiple passengers, when the front passenger exits midway, the rear passenger should move to the front seat. This courtesy is often overlooked.
