The 10 Commandments...
Today, the Vatican issued a 10 Commandments for drivers. It seems odd for the Vatican to be issuing such a document, but at the same time, it really would be nice if we could all follow them. In the document, the Vatican warns about the effects of road rage, which can include cursing and blasphemy. We've had several recent cases of road rage in this area, one resulting in a death. Vatican officials say they hope there will be fewer deaths on the road due to people following the 10 Commandments for drivers.
Here's the list:
1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
