A new public service announcement (PSA) geared toward teen drivers will appear in movie theaters and gas station pumps across the U.S. during this holiday season. DOT teamed up with Regal Cinema and Outcast Media to raise awareness against distracted driving. The PSA will air nationwide on Regal Cinema theater screens this week as well as on gas station pump-top screens owned by Outcast's PumpTop TV during the month of December.
The new PSA is titled "OMG" and uses other popular shorthand text messages such as "LOL" and "L8R" to show how sending text messages while driving can be dangerous. The PSA can be found on
DOT's distracted driving website, along with other educational resources for teen drivers.
