Asking a car if they will take a 3rd person

   As a slug and occasional driver here is my take.

	I think it is the responsibility of the first person in line on behalf of all those following to ask if a third is a possibility, if there is obviously more slugs than cars.

	If there are two cars queued up to pick up slugs and only three in line taking all three would be rude, take the minimum.

	As a driver I have occasionally been pondering other things when picking up slugs and always welcome a third with a long line, but unless someone reminds me I often forget to mention it.

	So bottom line, if the first in line is courteous, and there are many slugs in line, I think it is not only appropriate but considerate. IF the driver only wants to take two it is still their right. But if never hurts to ask politely. And as someone standing 30 back it is also appreciated. But again it should start with the Lead slug. JMHO.
