How to play
Keep it easy to use
- Passengers choose one setting: rural, urban, highway, rail, air, terminal, campground, or after-arrival recall.
- Find ordinary public features without photographing strangers, recording license plates, distracting the driver, trespassing, or asking for unsafe stops.
- The driver may answer spoken questions only and must not inspect the activity while driving.
