Read an interesting article last week in the Tulsa World
(not recommended reading but it passes time!…bored) and I’ve added a few touches. 
THOU SHALT NOT IGNORE
THOU SHALT NOT IGNORE THE 10 DRIVER'S COMMANDMENTS
Thou shalt NOT throw wadded up papers and/or cigarettes out the window.
I think people must want to keep those guys in the orange vest busy pick up trash as cars go whizzing by. But seriously can you just put your trash in the backseat and clean it out when you feel like it? Besides, smoking is bad for your health – it’s time to quit!
Thou shalt NOT finger-scrawl ‘WASH ME” on thy neighbor’s car/windows.
I have to admit I have done this a few times…but with Oklahoma RED clay dust….wash your car more often (ok…lately we have had enough rain to wash away the dirt…but the heat will be coming soon enough and dry things out!! At least I hope.
Thou shalt WAIT thy dang turn at a stop sign.
Did anyone read the driving manual…come to a COMPLETE stop – not the quick rolling stop. I live at a three way stop sign…I think its more like an exception that people stop…I’ve even seen the cops not stop. That’s a good example – NOT. Yield to the driver on your right if it is a tie.
Thou shalt most certainly NOT change clothes/make up/reading a book/newspaper while driving.
Hmmmm, it’s interesting to see someone changing their shirt and even bra…they must be pretty talented…I can barely do that in the bedroom. Make up…come on….if you late…go in zits and all….you can always put that on during working hours and get paid for it. Let me not for get the guys…don’t use the electric shaver/read the paper as you commute to the J.O.B. it’s not like the Tulsa World is a newspaper worth reading!
Thou shalt NOT take up two parking spots.
If you don’t want scratches on your car…don’t buy a shinny new car. Get over it…besides I know when opening my door, it’s hard not to…(I try really hard if I see someone in the car though!)
Thou shalt NOT peel out of a busy QuikTrip as if you are Jeff Gordon at Texas Motor Speedway.
The peel out also goes along with the LOUD MUSAK. Why do people think I want to hear or feel the vibrations of the mega speakers. (boy I sound like I’m old) And of course, peeling out of the driving way to leave the rubber tracks behind the spinners tires.
Thou shalt NOT drive on 169 in the left lane at 55 mph.
It is a usually OLDER person who shouldn’t be driving on the expressway in the first place. If you can’t at least go the speed limit…. STAY IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE.
Thou shalt BE courteous and use the TURN SIGNALS.
Again, I’m not so sure people know what that lever is for. I’m sure they wonder why their car has that gadget. If you are going to turn left…use it and after the turn, TURN IT OFF…nothing like having someone’s blinker on continuous not know if and when they might migrate into another lane.
Thou shalt NOT stop in the middle of the road for EMSA/FIRE TRUCKS/POLICE.
Panic sets in to anyone who sees or hears the sirens blaring…why do you want to stop in the middle of the road? Pull over to the right hand side and let the vehicle pass by…it just might be someone you know!!
Thou shalt NOT TALK ON THE DANG PHONE WITH ONLY ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL!!!!
My biggest pet peeve out of everything…what would people do without the contraption to their ear…or the blue tooth philosophy of talking to yourself. And how in the world do people text while driving? I usually pull over because I’m just not as talented I guess.
