‘Thou Shalt not Kill’ tops Vatican’s Ten Commandments for drivers

THE Vatican has issued Ten Commandments for drivers, telling motorists not to kill, not to drink and drive, and to help fellow travellers in case of accidents.

An unusual document from the Vatican’s office also warned that cars can be “an occasion of sin” — particularly when they are used for dangerous passing or prostitution.

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