It’s a good start but…
How can we expend the experience to all passengers in the car but only the driver?
The Problem
According to Carl Insurance,
79% of respondents said they’ve been on a family road trip over the past five years due to covid-19
That’s despite some drivers reporting feeling stressed, experiencing more fighting than at home and family members having a meltdown before leaving the neighborhood.
According to united tires library
41% of respondents said they simply could not endure a road trip without a smartphone or tablet
People prefer to make pit stops for gas, stretching, food and bathroom every two hours, and the top-rated snacks they pick up are crackers, chips, and jerky
