Holy Road Rage, Batman!

I really am taking a break from blogging - this is just one of those "couldn't pass it up" moments that I'll pop in with from time to time the next couple months.

So, you want to know how bad global driving habits have become? So bad, that now the Vatican is urging motorists to be more careful. Read the full article here.

In case you're curious, here are the suggested 10 commandments of the road:

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.


So, what do you think? Should people live by the ten commandments of the road? Would you?
