my kids are always fighting in the car,they are constantly bickering..and its so nerve wrecking:aj: what should i do ???
When you get in the car, what does it sound like? Do the kids bicker and fight? Do they kick and pick at one another? Are they yelling at each other, or are you yelling at them?
Re: kids in the car
My kids do fight sometimes… but most of the time they are fighting for the spot they want to sit at. If one gets in first then he/she will take the spot which both think is more favorable / comfortable / and “worthy” fighting over 
Besides the favorite spot, they are pretty much getting along very well because my son plays his DS while my daughter enjoys watching the game. So She helps him out and directs what to do next…
Also, my kids love music as much as I do. So if they get bored with DS then we listen to music and they pretty much are happy with the collection I have.
Re: kids in the car
my nephew insists on sitting in the drivers seat. and then he`l kick and scream if hes not allowed. which of course he never is. so thats another peaceful journey. i called him a spoilt brat the other day, my cousin is since not talking to me...lol..
salam...my kids tend to fight too but I resort to audio stories for them. I have bought some audio cds/cassettes for them with nice urdu and english stories for them to enjoy...not only does this keep them busy but also develops their vocabulary, sentence construction and expression of thought...not to forget imagination too...
If you have older kids you may want to use audio books, even adults can listen to audio books that are available on the net to download...

normally my kids don't fight in the car....they take turns for the 'favourite spot' which happens to be the middle seat at the back....i used to wonder wats so charming about that n my son told me the other day...they love keeping an eye on the speedometer...:)
like other kids they used to have arguments over petty things some times back....but 5 months ago they learnt the lesson.....my eldest was reading a book....middle one spilled some drops of juice over it accidently...now the eldest was annoyed ...his book borrowed from library n all....i was driving at 120...on the motorway...i tried handing him a tissue to resolve the problem....the tissue box slipped n somehow my power steering went out of control...we ended up in a ditch with driver;s side down....our car was totally destroyed...but Alhamdulillah we all( me n my 4 kids plus my sis) escaped unharmed.... i know it was my fault but my kids learnt their part of lesson too!
Re: kids in the car
My kids used to fight over spots also, so we made them think that the left is especially for one of them and the right is especially made for the other....... seemed to work :)
Also, keep them entertained somehow.. give them books to read, we have tv screens on the headrests so they can watch their cartoons... play some nice music... get them to play 'i spy' etc.....
Saw everthing in my sisters car.
Yeah better to warn them before getting in to car that is so very dangerous if you are driving and no other adult in the car other than you.
Tell them it’s very dangerous to do these.
make rule not touching each other. Stay away from each other. Try not to yell I know sometimes or most of the times only yelling works but tell them it’s very dangerous for all of us while driving.
Show them some movie or clip belongs to driving and tell that because kids were yelling and fighting.

That is a gr8 idea.
But I would say kids has to be deciplined at home to behave.
