Like Being A Good Catholic Isn't Hard Enough...

I guess the Catholic Warrior was right when he said reckless driving was a mortal sin. At this rate I might as well plan to live in the confessional.

Vatican's 10 Commandments for drivers:
An unusual document from the Vatican's office for migrants and itinerant people also warned that cars can be "an occasion of sin" — particularly when they are used for dangerous passing or for prostitution.

It warned about the effects of road rage, saying driving can bring out "primitive" behavior in motorists, including "impoliteness, rude gestures, cursing, blasphemy, loss of sense of responsibility or deliberate infringement of the highway code."

It urged motorists to obey traffic regulations, drive with a moral sense, and to pray when behind the wheel.

Interesting. I'm inspired...

The Cannonball's 10 Commandments for drivers:

1- I am the Cannonball, Your Fuzzy Overlord, Thou shalt not come before me or cut me off
2- Thou shalt not make use of the middle finger
3- Thou shalt not curse my name as I cut you off
4- Remember the turn signal and use it always
5- Thou shalt not come to a complete stop at an on ramp before merging with traffic
6- Right of way at 4 way stops is determined by who makes eye contact first
7- Thou shalt not park over the line
8- Thou shalt not steal my car
9- The standard driving speed is 10 mph over the speed limit, except during periods of rain or snow, in which case everyone forgets how to drive completely.
10- Thou shalt not covet the neighbor's car

Add your Commandments here.
