 THE 10 COMMANDEMENTS of MOTORDOM

The following is a "Blast from the Past". A somewhat humorous outlook on drivers that was written some time in the early part of the last century. See whether you agree with us that it is still relevant today in the 21st century. The author is unknown.

Thou shall not envy thy neighbor's car, lest thine own be offended and stall with thee upon the highway.

Thou shalt not use profane language when changing tires, lest thy wife reprove thee and speak not unto thee for many days.

Thou shall not argue with an officer, but answer him aye and nay, lest evil befall thee and cause thee the loss of many shekel.

Thou shall not race a train to a crossing, lest thy spirit leave thee and thy body be taken to a morgue.

Thou shalt not hog the road, lest he that is of quick temper bend the fenders of thy car and blacken thine eyes, and make thee the laughing stock of thy neighbor.

Thou shall not speed, neither shall thou run thy car with its cut out open, lest the minions of the law over take thee and put thee within a calaboose, and feed thee upon bread and water for the remaining days of thy life.

Thou shall not signal right and turn to the left, lest pain and suffering befall thee and thy body become a carving block for the physicians.

Thou shall not draw up to a curb and toot thy horn un-seemingly, neither for thy wife or thy neighbor's wife, nor for his daughter or the handmaiden that dwelleth within his gates, lest they that loveth peace and quiet fall upon thee and slay thee.

Keep thine eyes on the curves of the road, and not upon the curves of the flapper who is beside thee or who galketh upon the highway, lest a tree or a pole arise and smite thee and utterly destroy thee and thy car forever.

Honor thy car and its engine and give unto them the care and attention that they need, that thy days in the land of motoring may be many and full of happiness.
