A few weeks ago I wrote a story about a Road Rage Incident I witnessed on the way home from work. The thing of it is, there are so many of these stories going around now that it caught someone’s attention.
Whose?
God’s- that’s who.
Look, I don’t know why God got on this one. I figure God must have had one of those ” I’m in the mood to flood the world but I promised not to do that again days “ and decided to go for the Road Ragers instead ( GO GOD! ) through the Vatican
So here they are – from God’s lips to your ears-
The “Drivers’ Ten Commandments,” as listed by the document, are:
1. You shall not kill.
( check )
2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.
( No more Drive By Killings, I like that one )
3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.
(Like talking your way out of tickets- right?)
4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.
(Okay, there’s nothing wrong with aiming high God but I wouldn’t keep my fingers crossed they might cramp after awhile)
5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.
(THAT MEANS NO MORE CRUISIN’ FOR NOOKIE!)
6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.
( HEY QUEEN OF THE DUI’S THAT’S YOU PARIS HILTON- PASS THIS ON TO YOUR FRIENDS)
7. Support the families of accident victims.
( Check, I like that one )
8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.
( whoa…I just flashed on scenes from the Jerry Springer show- don’t know about this one )
9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.
( Good one God, you’re on a roll here )
10. Feel responsible toward others.
( You’re talking to Reality Show Junkies out there God, they’re all about kicking people off
The Island- but I’ll give it a shot )

WHERE IS GOD?
THIS IS A TRUE STORY:
There was this King who ruled his kingdom for many years. His every desire was satisfied, but still he felt there must be more to life than just satisfying ones instincts. He wanted to experience God – know who he was.
He asked his courtiers to find God for him, but none of them could help him. He had heard about a shepherd boy named David who seemed content with his lot. He called him to his palace and asked him, “Where is God, I want to experience, God”. David took him out to the fields and asked the King could he see God. The king said, “No, where is God”?
David said that he is up in the air, all around him. But still the King could not understand or experience, God. David took him to a well and said that God was in the well. The King looked at David and said, “In the well, God is in the well!!” David asked the King to look in the well and the King obliged. He then said, “All I can see is water and my image”! David said to the King, “You have found God”! You and I are the image of God.
Can you see God when you look in a mirror? The kingdom of God is within you!!
Neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you [Luke 17: 21].
Peace Be With You

Did it really need a ‘god’ to come up with this? If so, I reckon s/he/it may be a tad slow on the uptake …
… every driver should have one good book in their car, no I’m not talking biblical texts here, I’m talking “highway code” – or whatever equivelant exists elsewhere in the world …
Hi Mickey Thank you for stopping by.
Alasdair- this came from the Vatican- still- I’m curious as to WHY.
I also heard that they want everyone to make the sign of the cross before setting off (fair enough if that’s what you believe in) and saying prayers whilst driving…now is it just me or would that not be a bit distracting from the task at hand?
“Dear God, deliver me from sin and help me get to my destination unharmed and….” – SMASH!
yeah I heard it on the radio this morning, why? is a very good question … on more than one level.
Hi Jolene- no kidding, that’s all drivers need one more distraction. And can you hear it in traffic court? ” Sorry your honor it wasn’t my fault I was
( fill in the offense here ) but I was talking to God.
That one will age fast.
Alasdair I guess if were talking about Road Rage we’re not talking about things like…TREATING EACH OTHER BETTER.
AMM
Turns out it’s aimed at the Italians who are a bunch of terrible and angry drivers … so says the BBC’s correspondent in Italy.
Of course, it’s all very good talking about treating each other better, but actions talk louder than words 😉
Oh wow, then people in Seattle, and Los Angeles and all over the East Coast, parts of Texas and the Midwest…well the South and lets see- you know, the entire North American Highway sytem have more in common with Italians then a love of Coffee and Noodles!
