It’s not enough that the Pope wants to tell us what to do and what not to do with our own bodies — now he wants to cramp our driving style. The Vatican announced today, via press release, its Ten Commandments of Driving. Heed thee:

The 36-page document was put together by the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Migrants and Itinerant People.

“Thou shalt not drive and drink”, “thou shalt not make rude gestures behind the steering wheel” and “help accident victims” are among the 10 recommendations for motorists.

The document also warns that driving can bring out “primitive” behaviour in motorists, including “cursing, blasphemy, loss of sense of responsibility”.

It says that automobiles can be “an occasion of sin” – particularly when they are used for dangerous overtaking or for prostitution.

I’m guessing the Pope-mobile has never been the site of such transgressions.
