Thankfully, cars can now
play songs from a USB flash drive or your phone. So, take advantage of this and
play your favourite music genre including hip hop, reggae, Juju, soul, rock,
country, and Afrobeat among others. Sing along to the song. If you like you can
shout but just make sure your car windows put up.
Empty
your mail inbox

mental load. If you have internet connection, emptying your inbox or deleting
irrelevant messages can be one of the ways to pass time while traveling.

possible to learn something new.
