Sorry - no knitting content this time. But also interesting - at least to me... I just saw this as one of Yahoo's headlines this morning. You can read the complete story here.
The Vatican's "Drivers' Ten Commandments," as listed in the document, 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.
Driving in and around Atlanta, where most drivers are incredibly rude on the roads, makes me wonder what they get out of their driving style and almost appreciate something the Vatican comes up with. Even in Italy, where people drive insanely fast and come very close to your bumper many times, they are still courteous, even when you get an Italian gesture as a response to your driving...
