They forgot

Thou Shalt Not Merge Into the Left Lane When Going Really Slow.

Thou Shalt Not Screw with the Guy Changing Lanes by Closing His Space.

Thou Shalt Not Blind a Driver with Your Giant SUV Headlights Put Right Up Against His Rear Windshield.

and

Thou Shalt Not Leave The Left Turn Signal On Forever

What would Jesus do at a rotary? (roundabout)
What would Jesus do at a 4-way stop?
WWJD at a merge?

:D
1) Give every other the right-of-way.
2) Wait until ALL other cars within at least a mile of the four way stop had their turn.
3) GIve the right of way; but then take his appropriate turn, as not to disturb the traffic flow. Unfortunaly, I don't think even He would be able to forgive the people who try to cross two lanes from a passing lane to butt into the merge lane. (Some sins are unforgivable)

How about - Thou shalt drive with your brains functioning so as not to attract obscene gestures and profane words.

also: Thou shalt not suffer a Volvo driver to get away with causing accidents.

and (my personal favorite and unfortunately most in need of imposing): Thou shalt not purchase an SUV unless thou intendeth to drive OFF-ROAD. :evil:

Great stuff! Wayfriend, are you sure you haven't been driving in DC lately? :lol:

Of the actual commandments, I think my favorite is the one about reciting the rosary while you're driving. Hello, how about paying attention to the road??

You know; I just read the actual link.

I think it's great.

Man, if everybody followed just a few of these suggestions, the raods would be a much happier and safer place. :D
