Determining Your Rules
For the Road
“Rules are for the
obedience of fools and the
guidance of wise men.”
- Douglas Bader
An Example of Rules from
the Bible
1. Have no other gods.
2. Have no idols.
3. Honor God's name.
4. Honor the Sabbath day.
5. Honor your parents.
6. Do not murder.
7. Do not commit adultery.
8. Do not steal.
9. Do not perjure yourself.
10. Do not covet.
An Example of Rules from
the DMV
1. Respect the right-of-way of pedestrians. Always stop for any
pedestrian crossing at corners or other crosswalks, even if the
crosswalk is in the middle of the block, at corners with or without
traffic lights, whether or not the crosswalks are marked by
painted lines.
2. Do not pass a vehicle that has stopped at a crosswalk. A
pedestrian you cannot see may be crossing the street. Stop,
then proceed when all pedestrians have crossed the street.
3. Do not drive on a sidewalk, except to cross it to enter or exit a
driveway or alley. When crossing, yield to all pedestrians.
4. Do not stop in a crosswalk. You will place pedestrians in danger.
5. Remember, if a pedestrian makes eye contact with you, he or
she is ready to cross the street. Yield to the pedestrian.
6. Allow older pedestrians, disabled pedestrians and pedestrians
with young children sufficient time to cross the street
