He who places his hope on thee, O Virgin all-glorious, will prosper in all he does.

Shucks, No More Road Rage

I'm pasting this interesting news item in its entirety:

Commandments of Christian Drivers to be granted to Siberian motorists


Tomsk, November 12, Interfax - The Commandments of Christian Drivers will be distributed to 1500 motorists in Tomsk (Siberia) during a ten-days traffic safety campaign, the local administration press service reports.

Booklets containing such Commandments of Christian Drivers will be handed out to believers during church services.

The Commandments include such instructions as "Make way for aggressive or inexperienced drivers, for he who concedes a lot, gains more," "Don't get behind a wheel of a defective car, otherwise you may bring trouble to your own home and your neighbour's home," "Don't get distracted and absent-minded on the road, for distraction is the manifestation of sin, and concentration is halfway to virtue."

The booklet provides ten commandments, a driver's prayer and the image of Our Lady.
