I personally feel that there was no way that IJ would ever have wished to sit next to Snorts for any part of the entire journey - end of story! Both her and Percy are rather short so it made much more sense for them to sit in the back.
Although, I do feel that the return car journey was a total waste of time/effort as flying would have made much more sense/convenient for all concerned.
SJ only did it so that she could be surrounded in her bed by her "loving" family on her birthday

. It had nothing to do with consideration for Mommie and Percy. IJ drove that car for approx 5 mins.
Isn't drinking whilst driving against the law in France, as it is in the UK? As I know full well myself because I was caught drinking a sip of Cola (from a bottle, not a teacup), whilst driving through my home town travelling at prob 10mph in the middle of the day. Rookie cop saw me, asked me if I knew that it was illegal to drink and drive - I said I have not been drinking (me thinking alcohol - LOL). He then gave me a ticket which meant I had to report to local Police Station with all relevant documents. I even said to the cop behind the counter, "this is a total waste of mine and your time isn't it?", he just looked and me, smiled and rolled his eyes.
Plus, drinking from a teacup, rather than a small bottle, is just so much more hazardous whilst driving too, e.g. spillages. But, of course, PJ is SJ's hand maiden, isn't he, therefore he is there to serve his Mistress and address her every whim!
