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,

Tom and Ray
Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers

Thy shall only fart in thy car when thy are the only soul in thy car,lest thy passengers fart first.

Thou shall not assume that a classic car that is driven my a woman-when Lady is on the plate-has been built by a man.

Thou Shall not merge or turn without using thy turn signals.

Thou shall not use the turning lane to pass a row of cars because thou wish to go faster.

Thou shall not go warp speed in the far right lane of the highway.

Thou shalt not tailgate the two-wheeled conveyance known as a motocycle, for blood is corrosive to modern automobile paint and matted hair will surely constrict the airflow through the radiator. This applies as well to the manually-powered version, the bicycle.

If thou chooseth to ride a motorcycle, thou shalt not remove the muffler, neither shalt thou maketh a spectacle of revving thy engine whilst awaiting the green light, neither shalt thou use the roads of Ceasar as a race track lest ye be cast into jail to wail and gnash thy teeth.

Thou shalt not insist that thine car has enough gas to ascend a great mountain, despite the fact that the gas beacon is glowing brightly for all to see, only to have thy tank experience a drought of biblical proportions and force thine passengers to walk 12 miles to the nearest petrol station because thine cell phone receives no reception upon the mount.
Thou shalt not put on make-up, shave, or read while driving.
If thou insisteth on having fake Hawaiian leis, Mardi Gras beads and graduation tassles, they shall not occupy more than 10% of you shield of wind.
