Three prominent rabbinical judges in Bnei Brak have issued an unusually forceful ruling calling for a stronger fight against dangerous driving, declaring that road safety and compliance with traffic laws are both a religious and civil obligation. Rabbi Sariel Rosenberg, Rabbi Yehuda Silman and Rabbi Yitzchak Mordechai Rubin of the Bnei Brak Rabbinical Court published the ruling Wednesday under the title “And You Shall Guard Yourselves Very Carefully.”(V'Nishmartem). The rabbis warned that careless driving constitutes a continuing danger to human life and that those who disregard safety rules could potentially violate the grave prohibition against bloodshed. The ruling emphasizes that traffic regulations are not merely government recommendations but must be strictly followed as part of the obligation to protect human life.
