The "Cars 2" cast is part of a public service announcement to stress safe driving.
The Department of Transportation wants to reach kids at an early age to instill safe driving habits and to keep the message not only informative, but fun.
Some local children gave revealing answers when asked about their parents' habits behind the wheel. Kids don't miss much, and they often model their parents' behavior later in life.
