Killed on the roads
|
| |
On entering each county in Ireland, the notice informs you how many people have been killed on the roads in the last four years. A year passes, a line is drawn through that number, and the most recent figure is written underneath it. Sometimes the death trend is upwards; occasionally it is downwards. In either situation, the news is bleak. Far too many people are dying in accidents, and far too many families and communities are needlessly bereaved.
Dangerous driving contributes much to this carnage. Driving too fast, or under the influence of too much drink are very serious illegal activities. These are also immoral and irreligious. They strike at the heart of the human family, and are an insult to the creator God. Of lesser weight, but also of possible negative impact, are driving while holding the phone and other kinds of careless driving. The God who cares for the sparrow loathes careless behaviour of every type.
CCC 1853: “The root of sin is in the heart of man, in his free will, according to the teaching of the Lord”.
