Vatican Issues 10 Commandments for Driving

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.

"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

What happens if you combine some from the original list? Do you get punished twice for, say, committing adultery while driving?

#13: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Hummer. Know in thy heart that 7 MPGs is not worth thy paycheck, and that thy neighbor is compensating for something.
