<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/11/oprahs-chin-support-buys-100th-tesla-roadster/">Oprah Winfrey</a> has officially partnered with the Governors Highway Safety Association and handful of other agencies to help put a stop to distracted driving. The famed talk-show host will be heading up a special live show this Friday designed to highlight the dangers of driving and cell phone use. Winfrey will be interviewing the families of victims of distracted driving collisions and government officials. She'll also be announcing a new awareness campaign called "No Phone Zone" that urges drivers to leave their mobile devices alone when behind the wheel.<br />

The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/16/oprah-nominated-to-save-detroit-auto-industry/">Oprah Winfrey Show</a> will also host viewing rallies all over the country in cities like Atlanta, Detroit and Los Angeles to help spread the word. Don't expect this to be the last good deed Winfrey tackles, either. The host will be taking on a number of other issues in an upcoming sponsored public service announcement segment.
