"Cars 2" - Disney Commitment Towards Road Safety

The Department of Transportation (DOT), Disney, and Pixar have teamed up to help fight distracted driving with a new public service announcement with Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, and the colorful characters of “Cars 2.”

In advance of the June 24th release of the movie, the 30-second PSA is called, "Only the bad guys drive distracted." With the help of the Cars characters, it advises viewers that "No calling, no texting. Nothing that can take away your focus."

The ad will be available in more than a dozen countries with various translations and the DOT is working on increasing that coverage by partnering with the Make Roads Safe campaign for globhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifal road safety.
