The Vatican is the world's smallest sovereign state.
There are about 1,000 cars and the speed limit is 30 kph (20mph).
The last accident inside the Vatican walls happened about 1.5 years ago and the damages were minor.
Still, the Pope reckoned there needed to be some "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" including 10 more Commandments. Moses is probably rolling over in his buried Buick.
Thou Shalt Not Display Road Rage.
Thou Shalt Respect Pedestrians.
Thou Shalt Keep Your Car in Good Shape.
Cars shall not be for you and expression of power and dominaton. (Thou Shalt NOT Keep Your Car in Too Good of a Shape)
Cars shall not be used for an occasion of sin (used as a place for sin.)
Thou Shalt Not Use Rude Gestures While Behind the Wheel. (when not behind the wheel...it's okay.)
Thou shalt pray if you like...(but keep your eyes open).
When in Russia - thou shalt NOT park in the chair.
With a speed limit of 20 mph and accidents every other year, we must wonder, is the Pope talking to me?
