There are many activities to be indulged in to avoid the boredom that comes from driving but few of them are legal and most require that you remove at least one hand from the wheel with the possible implications of being stopped for careless driving. If you have to travel but are easily bored, try using chauffeur car hire to get around and then indulge yourself in all sorts of fun.

Dancing is one possibility. Many a time, my daughter and I have made up our own version of the hand jive whilst driving along. This is great fun and people look at you like your crazy but after one nasty experience where I got my sleeve caught on the gear stick, I decided this was dangerous. Now employ the use of chauffeur car hire and you can dance to your heart's content in the back seat. People will still look at you like you're crazy but trust me, it's them, not you.

People-watching is so much more fun when you don't have to drive. Using chauffeur car hire makes this past time so much easier. It's amazing that other drivers are under the impression they have blacked out windows or an invisibility cloak over their cars when they're stuck in traffic. Nose pickers are the worst. Their little rituals over what to do with their nasal secretion varies little and often culminates in rolling and flicking.

Of course, there is always eating. This is difficult to do when you're driving and often results in burger sauce all over your steering wheel but get your chauffeur to drive and all manner of silverware is at your disposal.

Waving at people, contrary to popular belief, does not stop being fun once you're out of primary school. Challenge your companion to get the most poker faced nearby driver to raise a faint smile and you may be surprised. If you use chauffeur car hire, direct your driver into inner city traffic and the waving business will keep you amused for hours. Lorry drivers are a pretty sure bet, particularly if you're young and blonde, or young and dark, or middle aged and female. In fact, if you have a pulse, you'll get a wave returned by a lorry driver.

A major past time to be carried out in a car is, of course, sex. In fact, at the age of eighteen, this is a veritable right and part of completing the puberty process. Get to forty and it's not so easy. Joints are stiffer and less flexible and, unless you're newly single, mustering up the energy is virtually impossible. Again, chauffeur car hire comes into its own. Slide up that privacy partition and slide into position with the ease and grace that usually befits someone of a more recent generation.

If you're using chauffeur car hire instead of driving, you have the luxury of being able to consume alcohol. This will lead to a plethora of things that seem fun to do at the time. Believing you can sing is one of the drawbacks and will see you screeching out ballads at the top of your voice. Writing 'HELP' on the rear window in lipstick will be fun until you get pulled over by the police and will make you look stupid if you don't take into account that you have to write it backwards to be read from the outside.

Of course, on really long journeys all these games will become tedious after a while. There is only one thing left to do and that is to see just how many orange cones you can get in the back of your car. Orange cones are the source of endless amounts of fun unless you end up in casualty with one stuck on your head, in which case you will just feel like a prat.
