“Oh, the weather outside is frightful, so step inside my car cause it’s delightful,” sings your brother as he opens the door to his SUV for you. You nearly fall over in surprise.

Just what is going on here? Did he enjoy too much eggnog? Perhaps he’s just recently found this post online about driving etiquette during the holiday—or any—season.

Ford and the Emily Post Institute created the list to help make everyone’s drive this holiday season more pleasurable—long or short, loud or quiet—they’ve got you covered.

Etiquette, sadly, is an often misunderstood word. People often associate the term with proper table manners, and while it does include that, it is really about so much more. Proper etiquette is a way of keeping people around you comfortable and letting them know that you care.

At Don Wood Ford Lincoln Inc., we look forward to the chance of meeting you during the holiday season or any time. Here in Athens, Ohio, we have a great and friendly staff, competitive finance rates and a stellar service team.
