Rules So far
1. you must be able to see the car in question
2. automatic bird shotgun is a given if the female in question is a recognised significant other of the driver, but she must obey the unwritten rule and not abuse the priviledge, eg only call it on roughly one third of all journeys
3. you cannot declare shot gun if someone has previosuly declared shotgun for that journey
4. when simultaneous shotgun is called, there is then a foot race to the passenger side door from the all the people who called
5. shotgun cannot be called whilst inside a building (unless you are in a multi storey or underground car park!)
6. shotgun cannt be called in advance, only whilst on the way to the car for the journey
7. on the call shotgun if the driver wants to mix things up a bit he can call reload, this means that all calls of shotgun before that are void and the first person to call shotgun again gets the seat... and if u plain don't like the person who called shotgun. this is often used when there is a simultanious call and the driver is unsure of the outcome, also a shotgun can have 2 barrels so a reload can only be called once
8. Once shotgun has been called for the front seat then back left and back right can be called, thus leaving the fifth person who is travelling in the middle
9. Being as how everyone is created equal, men have the same right as women to the front seat of the car. i.e. women don't own the front seat!
10. In the instance that the normal driver of a vehicle is drunk or otherwise unable to perform their duties as driver, then he/she is automatically given Shotgun.
11. Once the journey is underway, the person occupying shotgun becomes controller of stereo/radio and it is their duty to sort out the tunes. HOWEVER, if this person is being an arse,abusing their position and pissing everyone off with crap choice of music/constantly changing/or just generally not in control then the driver can stop the car, tell them to give up shotgun and then it is up for grabs for all other persons in the car
12. Shoe Rule, anyone calling shotgun must have their shoes on, this is to stop people running outside and calling shotgun, then having to go back inside to put their shoes on, thus slowing the journey
13. Shotgun overrules Dibs, Baggsy's and and other girly calls!
14. despite the debate, shotgun can be used to shotgun things other than the front seat (eg back left, back right, women, not going to answer the door etc etc etc)
15. However, all of the above doesn't cover navigation duties
