Pope's 10 Commandments of the Road

This week on Car Talk, we shared the Vatican's new 10 Commandments for driving. (And no, we're not kidding. You can read them here.)

And, well, temptation got the better of us. So, we had no choice but to add a few of our own, too!

Now it's your turn. What "Thou Shalt Not" would you add to Rome's Top 10? Share it right here.

Honoring thy mechanic's boat payment due date,

If thou maketh to overtake, though shalt "pee or get off the pot", rather than leave in "idle dimwit speed control" mode.

"Defecate or leave the commode." is a more polite of voicing that choice.
Charlie B.

Funny stuff !!!

thou shalt not use god's name in vain when cursing your car. God didnt make it.

Blessed are those who drive a stick shift, for they shall beat you dead at the lights.

.....Except MG's

Thou shalt remember the rules of Right of Way and keep them Holy, lest thou be considered a nitwit.

Thou shalt obey all the rules of the road, unless thou art a Bostonian, in which case thou mayest drive like a Philistine.

Pray tell what giveth the right to drive badly only to Bostonians? Thou has no right to drive badly!!! No matter where thou liveth!!!

If thou must drive badly; thou should only drive in the parking lots!!! Thou shouldnt even driveth in the countryside as thou might end up where thou wont want to be!!! (in the bloody ditch, off the road, etc)

One who wanders for 40 days and nights across the 3 lanes of a highway, is probably a female with a cellphone.

No cellphone can last that long w/o recharging. Thou must have a brain with NO charge.

Thou shalt never allow thy car to arrive at a destination that thy mind hasn't arrived at previously.

Thou shalt not play your cheesy (probably soon to be stolen and probably was stolen from someone else) bass-bumpin' car stereo with your miserable, soon-to-be-forgotten-in-a-few-months gangsta' rap in front of my residence any later than 10 PM on any given day. Thou shalt not own a car stereo worth double the value of the vehicle it is in.

Shalt not drive off road vehicals on road

Thou shalt not tail gate. Addendum: Thou shalt not jam on thy brakes when being tail gated.

"Thou shalt not tail gate. Addendum: Thou shalt not jam on thy brakes when being tail gated."

A jam on the brakes will quickly wake up a tailgater and sends a signal that he's just too dam close, particularly if he's so close you can't see his headlights in your rearview mirror. But be ready to accept his wrath by his ridiculous horn honking and light flashing. I just laugh at the fool who knows he's in the wrong when you're doing the speed limit in a construction work zone.

Thee who jam on the breaks whilst being tailgated shall find thine autos in a body shop.

Haha! Yes!

Blessed are those who have guts to jam brakes when being tailgated in construction work-zone. Thou tailgator who recklessly hit from behind receive nice increase in insurance rate plus bonus quilty conviction from court of law.

So let it be written, so let it be done. Selah.
