Yesterday, June 19th, the Vatican spoke out about the driving habits and safety issues that plague the world by issuing the"Ten Commandments of Driving" for those who forget the rules of the road.
It's uncertain that Pope Benedict XVI gave his approval on the"Ten Commandments of Driving". The document was signed by Cardinal Renato Martino who is known as a loose cannon in the Vatican's vast bureaucracy.
The list is a warning to motorist about the effects of road rage, for drivers to obey speed limits, and for motorists to keep them on the road to salvation. No matter how you look at, it's just to remind people there are laws to fallow and life?s at stake no mater what country you're in or what ever vehicle you drive.
II. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
III. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
IV. Be charitable and help your neighbour in need, especially victims of accidents.
V. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
VI. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
VII. Support the families of accident victims.
VIII. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
IX. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
X. Feel responsible towards others.
