Top Car Commandments

[Booth11]

My kid was whingeing today that she wasn't allowed to eat crisps in the car - "there are so many rules", she said.   It got me thinking.  So just for a bit of fun, what are your top car commandments?    Here are a few of mine (in no particular order):

1.  Thou shalt not permit consumption of food in car - broken, by others 
2.  Thou shall only use Shell V Power fuel or equivalent - obeyed, even though nearest Shell garage is 7 miles away!
3.  Thou shall clean car at least every 2 weeks - broken
4.  Thou shall park as far away from any other car - obeyed, well almost!
5.  Thou shalt not use car to transport rubbish to tip - broken, today 
6.  Thou shall park miles away from kerbs to protect diamond cut alloys - obeyed, but hasn't worked
