The right or claim to front seat travel History Lesson: The name for the seat (or seats) adjacent to that of the driver comes to us from the American "old"/"wild" west. Aside from a railroad ticket, Stagecoach was the only means of transport during this period. Stagecoaches were also a common means of transporting things of value (eg... payroll money, high ticket [merchandise]). In this period of lawlessness and hostile (with every right) natives, protection was necessary. Admittedly most people back then were [packing some heat], but for added safety, a stagecoach would always have an extra man. He would sit right next to the driver and was armed with a shotgun. This was known as [riding shotgun]; hence we have “shotgun” to call the front seat of a vehicle.
