Oprah compromises on “No Phone Zone” Pledge – Hands-Free Communication is OK.
This small change will make The No Phone Zone Pledge much more reasonable for most people. But for me, I’m keeping my car a strict NO PHONE Zone. I choose option number 3. Here is the revised pledge:
You know longer have to take the whole pledge of not talking on the phone at all in your car. You can make choices:
1. I will not text while I am driving.
2. I will not text while driving and will use only handsfree calling if I need to speak
on the phone while I am driving.
3. I will not text or use my phone while I am driving. If I need to use my phone, I will
pull over to the side of the road.

Millions of driver’s are talking on the cell phone, checking their email, and even texting while they are driving. Although most driver’s seem to understand the message not to “drink and drive,” they are less aware of the risks of cell phone use while driving.
Many cell phone users don’t realizing that by taking their focus off of the road they are just as bad as a drunk driver, and when it comes to texting they’re even worse.
Oprah Winfrey wants viewers to stop using cell phones in the car and take the NO Phone Zone Pledge. This is what Oprah Winfrey had to say about cell phone use while driving:
“It is my prayer that this show, this day will be a seminal day in your life,” Oprah says. “Let it be the end, the end of you using a cell phone or sending a text message when you are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. And until we as a nation decide we’re going to change that, those numbers are only going to go up.”
