We like the spirit behind this question much more than the actual question. Why? Well, first and foremost, the idea that we should listen to an ex-Nazi, 80-year-old virgin in a white dress and a funny hat who communicates with doors and chimneys about anything, let alone driving (or what to do with our genitals) is absurd. Second, could anything register higher on the "get the fuck out" meter than the Vatican actually publishing the 10 Driving Commandments? However, we made the cardinal sin of blogging: we actually read what we're talking about. And for the most part we agree with Holy C. Except for #5. We strongly and angrily disagree with #5. Anyhow, we are more interested in how many times you have violated the spirit of the law, as opposed to the letter.The new Ten Commandments are inscribed in cyber stone after the jump. – Jonny Lieberman

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.
