http://www.cnn.com/2007/W...n.road.rage.ap/index.html'Drivers' Ten Commandments'
The "Drivers' Ten Commandments," as listed by the document, are:
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.

So talking on cell phones and text-massaging is cool and I didn't see them decry road-head which is nice. I can live with those.

11. Thou shalt hang up thy *goshdarn* phone, put on thy *goshdarn* makeup before thou leavest thy house, set down thy *goshdarn* Egg McMuffin and 64oz Coke, pay attention to the *goshdarn* road, and drive thy *goshdarn* car.
..or something to that effect.

........And so it came to pass, that upon every vehicle, upon all of the world, there would be placed on it a device to signal the intentions of it's driver to change direction. And it was good. It also came to pass that man did not appreciate this gracious gift to alert his fellow man of his intentions, and the technology was shunned.

14. Open thine eyes to motorcycles, lest ye smite them.
15. When thou travelst and another man and his ass makes known his desire to pass thee, then shalt thou get thine own ass in the right lane already.
