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.
My particular favorite is #5. Don't use the car for an occasion of sin. So, I guess that means no more fun in the backseat at the drive in.

#6 has too many "nots" in one sentence.
And does #2 mean I get to drink wine while driving?

Yes, but only AFTER you've finished saying the Rosary.

make sure to tell yourself that this is cool
and make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice
and make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it
and that you can quit anytime
that you want
you can quit
anytime
that you want
you can quit
anytime
that you want
you can quit

keep both hands on the wheel, when operating a vehicle with an altar boy in it.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 6/19/07 at 6:13pmWhat happens if you combine some from the original list? Do you get punished twice for, say, committing adultery while driving?
Don't be too sure I'm as crooked as I'm supposed to be.

Elph - BIG gold star!
I'm sorry, but the posturing of concern over this issue while continuing to represent the careless disregard for reality that they do is insulting.
Well, it should be to those to still pay attention, anyway.
All due respect and apologies, papa.
