Please Do Not Attempt To Literally Give Control Of Your Vehicle’s Steering Wheel To Jesus
Op-Ed · Feb 9, 2017 · BabylonBee.com

Good day, citizens. Due to an increase in automobile accidents caused by drivers removing their hands from their vehicle's steering wheel and saying, "Jesus, take the wheel," we at the United States Department Of Transportation felt the need to issue this clarifying statement.

Please do not attempt to literally give control of your vehicle's steering wheel to Jesus. Only a human person with a valid driver's license who is sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle should be operating said vehicle.

"Jesus, take the wheel" is a figure of speech. It is not something meant to be acted out. It is a figurative saying indicating that you intend to give control of your life - not your motor vehicle - over to God.

If you say "Jesus, take the wheel" and then let go of your steering wheel, there is a good chance that you will be involved in an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

Please keep both hands on the wheel at all times while operating any motor vehicle. Thank you.
