Why Take On the No Phone Zone?

Over the last decade, distracted driving has become a national epidemic. In 2008, 5,870 people were killed and an estimated 515,000 people were injured due to distracted driving, according to the NHTSA. Cell phone use by drivers is the core of this crisis. Talking or texting while driving has deadly consequences everyday on American roadways. That’s why Oprah and Harpo Studios have created No Phone Zone to work to change our cell phone behavior and ultimately prevent more senseless tragedies from happening.

As Oprah says when she talks about the No Phone Zone campaign, “A call or text isn’t worth taking a life. We must not allow more mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, sisters and brothers to die before we take action against distracted driving. Let’s put a stop to it now by making our cars a No Phone Zone.” Oprah has made it her mission to break America’s addiction to talking and texting while driving and bring Americans back to reality before more lives are lost.

There's even a National No Phone Zone Day!
