Sitting in the back

[articx]

If you are driving your car with someone else coming along for a ride, do you let them to sit in the back while the passenger seat is empty? Do you make friends sitting in the back of your car move to the empty passenger seat?

I would rather have someone sit in the passenger seat. I have the kids ride in the back seat but other than that I would feel more comfortable with an adult sitting beside me rather than behind me.

If I have someone with me, I prefer they sit in the front.  Otherwise I would feel like a taxi service without the pay and tip.

I would definitely have the passenger sit next to me in the front...making them sit in the back would seam like I don't really care about them or not want to talk to them...something I have never done. I would always have them sit up front. Making them sit in the back would just be weird.

I have never had anyone get in the back seat when the passenger seat was empty. If they did, I would feel awkard and ask them to move up front.  If my husband is driving and someone else comes along, I always offer them the front seat and take the back unless it is a couple that prefer to sit together.

I would want a person i know to ride in the front. I'm not sure about someone I don't know.

I just let my friends or family sit in the passenger seat. Unless it's a child, who should sit in the back.

    i would hope that the person riding with me would want to take passengers seat....it would feel kinda awkward if they chose to sit in the back, unless they were a child or not proper weight to ride in the front..I guess if my friends want to sit in the back when the fronts open its there loss lol that just means they cant disturb the radio selection or mess with the heat or air lol!!!!

Why would someone want to sit in the back when a front seat is open?  Unless they are riding with me, that is.....

I don't ride many people in my car if they are adults they would ride in the front.  If I am riding in someone elses car I sit in the front I would never think to get into the back seat if I was the only passenger.

I would always have them sit in front with me.

i let them sit in the front, I think it would be bad manners to sit them in the back

I'd rather have them sit in the front, unless it is a child that should riding in the backseat.

I have so many thoughts about this question and I enjoyed reading the other comments.  But you have really got my curiosity up!  What makes you ask the question?  What is the story?  For me, I would hate a stranger "behind" me.  I would feel insecure.  My unusual mother in law, I think she read something once about safety.  So I endulge her.  (When they get over 90 or even 80, I think they "win" on pretty much whatever they want unless it is a safety issue, etc. )  Otherwise, always up front in the passenger seat. (of course, unless age, height safety issue with air bag, etc.)  Really look forward to hearing your story!

I would prefer if they sit in the front with me no offense but I'm not a cab.
