A Special Message from Oprah - No Phone Zone

[fancyfree70]

In Belgium it's forbidden by law.

[cutebeatriz]

oprah looks good here!

[Fira777]

Safety tip: Do NOT believe hands free safety claims please only pull over and then talk, text etc. hands free can still be distracting and even deadly.

Great video OPRAH!!!

[Altreche1000]

Using your phone while driving is irresponsible childlike behaviour. That is the reason why the message has to be send like you are talking to a child. Do you get it???

[jonasbrothersrockist]

No More Text Messages.

[DinoMassimi]

go ahead take the pledge, but that's of course not what this is about. this is about passing laws that prohibit people like me who won't sign any such pledge from using my phone.

[GrampawUniverse]

I don't even a phone, my dear! But I love the ideaz

[OnJupiterImFamous]

HI Oprah please look at my no phone zone video

[IsisluvsAmunRa]

i signed the plege also my husband did also. we don't care for people text while they are driving. It;s get s me made when we see it every day. people are careless..

[MrCrystal0987]

I really like Oprah.

[CaptVermont]

Why do you speak to me like I'm a child?

[RedHotHermann]

i just watched this video while driving

[Shatima777]

I think this is a wonderful thing!!!!!! Keep it going Miss. O. Please come check me out

[morgannlove16]

what the heck people?!

really that message is that important to take away YOUR life and the people AROUND you!!

plus oprah is doing an amazing thing so shut that up.

i love what she's doing in honor of my friend Alex Brown who was texting while driving and got killed.

so when you offend her about this cause,

you offend ME!

[IsisluvsAmunRa]

@morgannlove16 I agree with you 100%.love&peace.

[cy1675]

thank you OPRAH

[imcornholio55]

Another publicity stunt, she wants everybody else to stop doing it, while she is being driven in a limo by her chauffer. Filthy rich billionaire, why doesnt she give up all these millions and ride a bus. What she needs all these money for.

[mastermindxyz1]

so stupid...oprah is just doing this to get attention and make some money off of it...i support texting and talking on a cellphone while driving...i think i'll create a movement...haha

[safedrivermike]

You are doing a wonderful thing. Thank you for doing this.

[nirbija]

The message of this big hearted American is for those who can be helped.

[zippyman818]

I think this is elitist.

Safe driving, yes of course.

Being out of contact and unavailable while on the road, I can't afford it. I can't waste time waiting.

Don't distract the driver is still the best wisdom. (Everything else verges on Draconian mandate).

[SIRTONY]

..it should be simple...risk peoples lives while driving then the punishment will be harsh...when you decide to ENDANGER your fellow citizens in a CAR or Truck etc...you are then saying hey I am above the law...and I can do anything I want...That is and always has been insane...and it needs to be mad clear...when your car becomes a WEAPON and not Transportation... that choice is INSANE...:) Freedom is not the right to do the above...it is INSANE...

[jeff092081]

If people will listen to Oprah, and not txt or talk while Driving it'll all be worth it. B/c no txt or call is worth dying for being mamed for or paralyzed for. Save a life TAKE THE PLEDGE..

[4everDoha]

What would you say if I've seen people here in Qatar .. BlackBerry everywhere .. There were several accidents caused by BlackBerry addiction: (

[TheOtherWinfreyShow]

It this message saves only one life, it was well worth it.

[HaktAndAttakt]

:17

[sldpm88]

its against the law in australia to drive while on the phone, you could lose your license for a minimum of 3 months and get a fine, texting included. get with the program USA!! also illegal to not wear a seatbelt... and more restrictions on new drivers, tougher penalties and laws.

[hamsterfan100]

Awesome you rock. I feel the same way. Like come on people phone is gonna be like. "ruling the world"

[ayasenusimusic]

Oh come on Oprah. There are bigger problems in the world. I mean I know you've covered most of those issues but you need better show topics, woman. 25,000 people die each day from starvation. Why don't we do something about that? Just sayin'...

[TeacherJR]

Come on dude or dudette, you know darn well Oprah IS doing something about starving people, too and she HAS said something about that as well in other venue's. This just happens to be her statement at the moment. Chill and take the pledge and you and others will stay alive. Just sayin'

[ayasenusimusic]

Well OBVIOUSLY she is running out of show topics. Can you blame her? She's has jumped to just about every issue...

[MKayKeller]

I signed the pledge & the day after had my grand-daughter in the car. A car pulled out in front of us! 1st words out of her mouth were, "Look Grandma he was talking on his cell phone!" There he was yakking away on his cell totally oblivious to our distress. Thank you for making this a public issue. I work in Substance Abuse Prevention & was shocked to hear it was equal to a .08 BAC!

[noellafay]

kudos

[DotsVoiceStudios]

OPRAH RULES. =)

[Tasharrelle]

yay !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cxliiver]

I live in British Columbia, Canada, and just recently they actually made it ILLEGAL to talk and/or text on your cell phone while driving, I believe the fines are like $500 and up or something like that, we're still aloud to have the bluetooth headset thing but yeah, it's illegal now, which is good, because I think it was last year a guy was killed because he was texting on his phone and he crashed and died.. , NO PHONE ZONE! :) yay!

[MarikasRoom]

Same with Manitoba :) I answer my mom's phone for her if she is driving

[cxliiver]

@MarikasRoom I know it is such a good thing, people don't realize HOW much of a risk it is, you might as well just be reading a newspaper or something if your going to talk on your phone or text, GO BC AND SASK AND WHATEVER OTHER PROVINCE/STATE THAT MAKES TALKING/TEXTING WHILE DRIVING ILLEGAL! :)

[KateBeyer]

@cxliiver I live in Saskatchewan... they made it illegal here too... it's a really good thing that they did :)

[FaridElhassass]

amazing woman

[SPIKEMINODA08]

ok this is awesome she actually cares!....

[LivingForLOL]

YEAH!!

But when it said special message, I thought it would be about her quitting...

[sharuto]

love ya oprah.

[joshipoo16]

i wish oprah was my mum

[USAGlobalVideoCorp]

@joshipoo16 Me too! I'd never worry about money again!

[kxlee1]

I love you Oprah. You are wonderful, a great role model, an angel, and a leader. You are truly amazing!

[lindsii152]

i love this pledge she should put it on tv like on all channels everyone neeeeds to do this

[easternstar12]

Hi Oprah,

I totally agree with the pledge. I took it myself. But, just so we can all be on the same page with "your" pledge. Can you pledge not to use your phone while in your limo? Even though you are not actually driving. So we all will be making this sacrifice. Even though I am adhearing to the pledge...some things are easier said than done.

[westkan]

What part of distracted by your phone while DRIVING didn't you understand? I guess 1 could take the pledge as a passenger, but why?

[watchout823]

@easternstar12 your pledge doesnt make any sense for her to do. its no talking on the phone while DRIVING not RIDING. she said that she wouldnt call anyone that she knew was driving.

[covergirl5342]

Dont be silly, its only when ur driving its dangerous .

[billyjoelmartin]

oh yea seen a few people run lights and swerve over to my lane while talking and or texting dial 911 and tell the cops they are drunk and give them the licence number done it a few times sometimes i cant get close enoght to tell if they are drunk or stoned

[bubblywums]

This is law in Ontario (Canada) too. You get ticketed if you are talking/texting while driving.

[chris6770]

This is law in the UK. Amazed the US hasn't done the same yet. So many needless RTA's because people aren't paying attention.

[trinibutterfly2007]

So true Oprah . What a great message

[AlexTheDorkk]

i love you Oprah!
