Kudos to the Vatican for these, even if the Pope may not have approved of, or even read, the document. It made me wonder why no other religious group, that I know of, had come out with something similar.
It’s hard to believe growing up, no one had heard of seat belts. One of the most difficult things was to get our then new Chinese daughter to accept being confined in a car seat. It was torture for her. (There weren’t any seatbelts in China, that I could see, in our taxis or the charter buses, or the van we rented, let alone car seats.)
Sadly, someone in our close experience died in a car accident, hit by someone who should not have been driving and was in fact driving on an expired license, then left the scene.
I sometimes pray my way down the road. How about you?

1. You shall not kill.
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
7. Support the families of accident victims.
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
10. Feel responsible toward others.
