The Vatican has issued a “Ten Commandments” for motorists to keep them on the road to salvation, warning drivers against the sins of road rage, abuse of alcohol or even simple rudeness.
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.
I think when pertaining to Filipino jeepney and taxi drivers, we could add 11th and 12th commandments (or more):
11. Obey the rules first when you want your passengers to follow. I’ve noticed quite a number of jeepney drivers who carry signs such as “No Smoking” yet they violate it themselves.
12. Be conscientious enough not to ask for fare exceeding the regular rates.
