The Vatican has seen my driving I am guessing, and they came up with driving's ten commandments. They are all kind of funny - I think - but here they are:
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.
Its not like one can disagree with any of them, but still when they are written and spelled out I can not help but chuckle. I know I am not a good driver, but c'on, I do not need 10 commandments do I ?

Did some of the intended meaning get lost in translation from Italian to English? Because some of these would make sense only to a crack cocaine addict.
I mean -- #8: "Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness." WTF? IMHO, it just goes to show how utterly irrelevant the Catholic Church is becoming.
I'd love to see the Christian groups in the US obey #5: Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
Maybe it would bankrupt most auto-makers due to poor sales of the high-end, luxo-SUVs. In any case, rule #5 doesn't mesh with our capitalist goals.
