You get a car! You get a car! You get a car!

So, we all remember the Oprah rampage back in September of 2004 when she opened her 19th season by giving away a Pontiac G6 to every single audience member. In her bright red suit, she chanted and pointed "You get a car! You get a car!" as the audience cried, screamed, and of course jumped up and down. Soon, Oprah and the entire audience were running out to the parking lot full of brand new Pontiacs.

Today, Oprah is on a different kind of car rampage. She has created a "No Phone Zone" pledge for all of her Harpo Production staff, audience members, guests on the show, etc. to sign and pledge that they will no longer text or talk on their phones while driving. Today in the technological society that we live in, things like cell phones, iPods, navigational systems, etc. can be very distracting and harmful to not only us as drivers, but to other people on the road as well. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 6,000 deaths in 2008 alone just by distracted drivers. Because of these numbers, some states have taken legal action against cell phone use while driving.

Personally, I think it's something we're all a little guilty of. The convenience of cell phones has been pushed to the limits while driving a car. I know I've opened a text, or talked on the phone while driving and it is harmful to me and my fellow drivers. As Oprah says, life is more important than that.

Oprah's entire staff has pledged to no longer talk on the phone or text while driving, can we all do the same?
