Ms. Vera

I agree that this is common sense and people ignore it, which is why I think it's great that the Vatican issued this document...as a reminder. At first, when I saw the headline, I kind of chuckled and rolled my eyes, but after reading this a bit, I thought wow -- this is good stuff and hope it gets around.

I hate it that people have to be told things like this. Geese fly in a nice Vee formation, but people have to have velvet ropes to get them into a theater.
I try to help people whenever possible on the road. There are of course times when I feel bad for not stopping. Accidents are one time when I say yes absolutley to stop and help. But for a breakdown, I'd say to women especially, call for assistance for someone, but don't stop. If you do, make sure your doors are locked, and windows up. Have a clear lane to drive away, for escape.
I have a friend who survived an attack on a country highway in this way. She didn't expect anything like this to happen to her. She stopped for an apparent breakdown with the hood up, and only cracked her window to what she thought was a safe amount. The knife that was stuck through her hand changed her mind. She got away and was lucky.
So why do people not have what is obviously common sense?
I'd like to see pieces of this posted on billboards around, maybe one or 2 to a board. Of course, I hate billboards that advertise. I think they clutter up my world, but I could even accept a few things like this to give people some bit of intelligence. Maybe we could cut the rest of them down?

We had our own kind of ten commandments.And behaved as though we belived them..

Oh My!Common sense.

I think they sound good except for the one about bringing the gulity motorist & victim together. I had a girl run a red light at 70 and t-bone my car 2 weeks before x-mas and if that was not bad enough her mother came in my room at the ER and told me about about her poor daughter being the victim. Then when I was released and being wheeled out to the car I had a friend of her family threaten to kick my shattered leg.
I do agree strongly with the stopping to help. I was trapped in my car for an hour before the fire dept used the jaws of life to cut me out and the whole time I had 2 teenage boys that stayed with me until I went to the hospital. They tried everything they could think of to get my door open even after the firemen told them I would have to be cut out. Needless to say I sent them each a check to show my appreciation.

Amen!

I can see it now . . . a driver does a good thing and the Catholic Church takes the credit. Cha-ching!

I think it is a great idea!!

Will it work?? I don't know!

Will I at least try to follow it? Of course, just because that is the type of person I am!

As in the immortal words of Rodney King after the LA riots, "Can't we all just get along??"

Oops!Thanx for reminding me,Truth23,about that stunt the Pope pulled in South America that I DIDN'T like!
