Ten Commandments For Cars: No Vroooom! At the Inn

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Thou shall not drive under the influence of alcohol. Thou shall respect speed limits. Thou shall not consider a car an object of personal glorification or use it as a place of sin.

The Vatican took a break from strictly theological matters Tuesday to issue its own rules of the road, a compendium of do's and don'ts on the moral aspects of driving and motoring.

OK, I think this is just ridiculous and unnecessary.

Cars are overseen by secular laws, why does the Vatican need to issue "commandments" about driving?

Does anyone else think there is something sort of hypocritical about all this?

Moses supposedly got the original 10 Commandments from god. So either god is supposed to make commandments, or (as those of us who don't believe in a god already think) is the set in the bible, and the entire bible itself written by MEN.

I think this is nonsense and makes the Vatican seem to be a bunch of useless jokers.

I've got a better set:

1. Thou shalt not drive in the passing lane if thou are not passing.

2. Thou shalt not drive in the passing lane if thou are not passing.

3. Thou shalt not use the world as thou ashtray.

4. Thou shalt not talk on a cellphone for more than thirty seconds.

5. Thou shalt never talk on a cellphone if thou is a woman.

6. Thou shalt always use thou turn signals.

7. Thou shalt not pump 150dB of bass at stoplights.

8. Thou shalt sit high enough to see over the wheel.

9. Thou shalt not drive if thou has great grandchildren.

10. Thou shalt realize that accelerating to warp two just to pass one car does not get thou there any faster.

I actually think this is really funny, plus it teaches people to drive safe.

I don't see what you're getting all hurt about MM, don't you have a sense of humor?

How is driving a "moral" activity? This still is blowing my mind. Those wacky cardinals.

I think I like yours better, APC, except for the sexist overtone found in number 5. The worst driver/talkers I've seen around here were guys in trucks full of work equipment.

Though the dilbert who drove up the back of a parked SF police car a couple of years ago was a woman talking on the phone ...
