By now, we should all pretty much have a handle on how dangerous it is to text while driving. Thanks to Transportation Secretary <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ray lahood">Ray LaHood's</a> efforts against <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/distracted driving">distracted driving</a>, the word is slowly getting out that using a handheld device while behind the wheel can be as dangerous as driving while under the influence. Now, LG is out to do its part with a series of videos helmed by none other than <em>Glee</em> super villain Jane Lynch. Lynch has already been working with the phone manufacturer in a series of Text-Ed videos that cover everything from sexting to mobile harassment.<br />
<br />
In the latest clip, Lynch plays someone serving community service for being busted for texting while driving. As part of her penance, Lynch is forced to lead a group of parents in a talk on the dangers of her actions. <br />
<br />
While the clip is plenty funny, the truth is that LG has discovered that around 70 percent of teens say that they've been in a vehicle while their parents were texting while driving. Additionally, 44 percent of parents admitted to doing the deed. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/06/video-glee-star-jane-lynch-teaches-text-ed/#continued">Hit the jump</a> for a look at the video as well as the press release.
