No. This is actually apparently not a joke. :rolleyes:

Vatican's 10 Commandments for drivers
Story Here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070619/ap_on_re_eu/vatican_road_rage

The "Drivers' Ten Commandments," as listed by the document, are:

You shall not kill.
The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
Support the families of accident victims.
Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
Feel responsible toward others.The lack of separation of church and government is really starting to make it difficult for me to manage these forums. I mean, do I put this in the car forum? Or do I put it under religion. :eek:

I know, I know. They're more suggestions than commandments.

Yes, I would agree, they're more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

Who takes into account such guidelines when driving anyways?

I thought all mankind was just in the mindset, get me from point A to point B as quick as possible, who cares what happens to other motorist?

And that is why I carry a potato gun in my vehicle. A suitable, non-leathal weapon that still gets your point across!

Non-lethal as long as you both are STOPPED!!!
A projectile (even one on the road that is kicked up) CAN be lethal.

Look up the gal who ended up with a POLE through her head as she drove down the interstate! (BLICK!!!)
