Film Transcript / Subtitles

I never get into my car but what I think of all the accidents that could happen and what a responsibility I have. It may sound corny but I have a special way to handle this. I repeat to myself a kind of poem. I trust that I am fit to drive each busy thoroughfare and that I keep a watchful eye in case some child be there. I'm always thinking constantly about the golden rule when driving past a playground or by some busy school. Please make me feel this car I drive you gave me to enjoy and that its purpose is to serve mankind and never to destroy. This poem is good for any driver because it's more than a poem. It's really a prayer. you
