That’s a hearse of a different color…..

Reverse.

Walk more.

Even better, drive alone.

Unless the zombie apocalypse has arrived!

Start driving a Hansom Cab. You’d already be in the backseat yourself. And you’ll be above everyone else. So you can look down on them too.

Remove the backseat. Take no passengers. Stay out of the car.

Only bring your putters and wedges. Only play miniature golf.

If you drive a hearse, finding yourself beset by a backseat driver is both annoying and horrifying.

He is being buried with his phone and google maps is giving directions.

Many years ago I heard about a hitch hiker stuck at an isolated gas station. A hearse stopped and he asked the driver if he might get a lift with him. He was told that the second seat was taken by the guy’s partner who went to the bathroom. He’d have to ride in back. He climbed in. A couple of miles down the road he asked the driver if he could have a light. The guy’s partner nearly had a heart attack!

In Savannah, Georgia, you can take a ghost tour riding in the back of a hearse that has the top cut off. I didn’t take the tour because my traveling companion wouldn’t do it, but I will have to go back and try it sometime.

Driving a hearse; One way cab driver…

My thoughts went a different direction. Passengers up front, driver behind, elevated to see over the passengers, but them still providing air bag like protection.

Hearse = Cadillac station wagon.

Not sure that’ll work
