Oprah's No Phone Zone pledge -- Nicole Richie supports it, do you?

Oprah Winfrey has started the No Phone Zone pledge. It was launched on her talk show and the actual petition is on her website. Actress Nicole Richie posted to her blog: "I've signed Oprah's No Phone Zone Pledge committing to drive responsibly, and I'm encouraging all of you to do the same. I know it seems difficult, with that tiny blinking red light taunting you, indicating a new and exciting message is waiting to be read, but come on people. Is waiting until you arrive at your destination that hard? Or here's a crazy idea...pull over to the side of the road to read it."  The actual No Phone Zone pledge is:

I pledge to make my car a No Phone Zone. Beginning right now, I will do my part to help put an end to distracted driving by committing to drive as responsibly as I can:

Choose one:
I will not text while I am driving

I will not text while driving and will use only handsfree calling if I need to speak on the phone while I am driving.

I will not text or use my phone while I am driving. If I need to use my phone, I will pull over to a secure location.
