Lisa Ling was on The Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday, and looking chagrined admitted that she has texted while driving with her knees, which prompted Oprah to remind her that "it's against the law," to drive and text. She told Ling that if she didn't stop she would "notify the California Patrol to be on the lookout," for her!

With a row of nuns sitting in the audience, Lisa admitted that she was breaking the law and agreed to sign "half" of Oprah's pledge to not text and drive. She said that she would use her bluetooth to talk on the phone.
Maria Shriver Apologizes For Using Cell While Driving
Ling lives in California where it is illegal to text and drive and all drivers must be hands free while talking on the phone. Maria Shriver and Jennifer Aniston have both been caught driving and talking on a hand held phone, and Shriver's husband, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, told her that she had to stop and made her donate the phone to charity.
