Selena Gomez ‘Safe Driving’

Selena Gomez has recorded a public service announcement to promote safe driving habits!!

“Don’t do a thousand things in your car!” the Wizards of Waverly Place starlet told PEOPLE. “In the car, just focus on what you need to be doing.”

Selena hopes the spot will encourage teens to put down their cell phones while they drive, and she’s even willing to make some sacrifices of her own.

“I’m going to try to put my phone on silent,” she says. “You can tell yourself, ‘I’m not going to get it,’ but once you hear it you get tempted and distracted. So for me … I’ll put it on silent, put it in my purse and just drive.”

It hits close to home for Selena, who says “I’ve almost been in wrecks because of people [using phones while driving], she recalls. “I’ll sit there and look at someone and go, ‘Gosh! She completely almost ran into us,’ then look at her and see she’s on the phone. That’s the reason!”

The PSA will air on the Disney Channel, so stay tuned!
