    Vatican issues 10 commandments for the motorist

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/6768395.stm



    The Vatican has issued a set of "10 commandments" for motorists to promote safer driving.
    The "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" call on drivers to respect speed limits, refrain from drinking before driving and avoid cursing.

    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.

    Tis easier for a 40 tonner to go through they eye of a needle than a 4x4 to park properly?
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Stop thinking that "a person in the sky can talk to you" and you'll be a lot safer.

          I think those 10 commandments come straight from Roadcraft!

            Given the way they drive in Italy, I can see why this was thought necessary.
