Interesting. Although I'd suggest a different 10:
1. Slower traffic shalt KEEP TO THE RIGHT!!! (or left, if ye be in England).
2. Thou shalt be courteous. Thou shalt not tailgate, cut off others, weave in and out of lanes or otherwise be a dick.
3. If thou shalt find thyself in a high-profile vehicle (van, truck, SUV, Abrams tank, whatever), ye shall realize that other people can't seeth around ye and thou shalt position thyself accordingly, with adequate following distance, in a travel lane - not a passing lane.
4. Thou shalt not partake of rice (fart cans, unnecessary carbon fiber body panels, wings on cars that can't go fast enough to generate downforce, fake blow off valves, etc.) or of bling (spinner wheels, neon, over-use of chome, etc.) Such abominations are unnatural and an offense to God.
5. Anytime is a good time for the top to be down. Rain, snow, hail, locusts, whatever.
6. Thou shalt respect semi trucks. If thou driveth one, thou shalt stay only in the lanes designated for your use - your Lord thy God shall ensure that ye shall get to thy destination in good enough time without driving thy 100-ton truck like it be a car.
7. If ye shall use thy vehicle to transport goods, thou shalt use common sense in loading. A king-size mattress and box spring atop the roof of a Ford Festiva "secured" with a few pieces of twine is reckless and ye shall be smitten for such sin. Large pieces of building material sticking way out the windows or trunks going down the highway at 70 is reckless and shall incur the wrath of God. Thou shalt secure your surfboards, snowboards, bicycles and similar objects so they won't come loose and cause a crash. Thou shalt secure all toolboxes, ladders and other objects securely.
8. Thou shalt extend courtesy and a wide berth to motorcycles at all times. If ye be riding, then blessed art thou.
9. Thou shalt not drive drunk. Thou shalt not drive if thou be too old, infirm, ill or injured to do so.
10. Thou shalt keep thy vehicle in good repair at all times.
