Ten Commandments of Driving


Posted by Eduardo Peñalver on June 19, 2007, 12:47 pm


Hot off the presses, here’s the Vatican’s newly released discussion of the “moral aspects of driving.”  Here are it’s Ten Commandments for drivers:

I.

 You shall not kill.

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.

My question for the discussion thread:  On these principles, is driving an SUV a sin?  (See, in this regard, Commandments I, II, V, IX, and X)
