this is funny. silly, but funny.
actually they should add another for the benefit of all those randy
baptists in america: you know, the likes of bakke, swaggart, haggard,
and other villains.
11. thou shalt not have sex with prostitutes in cars in public.
okay, haggard was dating a gay prostitute in private, but still...

although i have to admit that indians cannot really point fingers at
white guys' bad driving habits. indians are the very worst drivers
around. i believe this is because of the 'scarcity economy syndrome'.
we are afraid the road will disappear any minute, so we want to hog it
while we can. (this is not an entirely incorrect assumption, either.
roads do disappear quite unnervingly. they come to an end with no
warning. one minute you're driving along, and next there simply is no
road. or there will be a cavalcade of some politician and you're just
stuck.)

Rajeev, seems like you missed that popular movie describing how Italians are different from other Europians :-)
Anyway, Italians drive like Indians, if not worse. This is worse than it seems because Italian infrastructure is better than Indians, the usually go to driving tests in order to drive on road (we know how some get license in India). And yes, they abusive have gestures to deal with other peoples on the road.
interstingly, Vatican is not being unduly charitable in this venture.
As you know the way they drive in the land of Mafia and Sonia Gandhi, most office bearers of Vatican fear for their life :-). So, the concept of self-preservation has played a big role in newly formatted commendments. Furthermore, this is nothing new. Vatican and its Popes have been concerned about their safety for long time and have spoken frequently about this subject even decades back.
