Yeah agreed. That makes more sense for a bumper sticker. 
I'd go with the first translation.
#9 : Did I translate correctly?

让 means YIELD in US traffic parlance, or GIVE WAY in the UK.
Doubling verbs gives the idea of "a little" or makes it sound a bit gentler, you can't really translate it. So something like "hey, gimme a bit of space, will ya?"
