According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, there were 91,000 distracted driving crashes from 2013 to 2019, resulting in more than 47,000 injuries and 305 deaths.
CLEVELAND — The legislation, which has been sent to Gov. Mike DeWine for signature, would classify distracted driving as a primary offense, meaning law enforcement officers can stop and cite drivers solely for distracted driving violations.
The stronger distracted driving regulations were rolled into a voluminous omnibus bill, which totaled 975 pages. Lawmakers passed the bill on Thursday during its lame duck session. “[Texting and driving] is kind of normalized but obviously I don’t think it should be,” Ferguson said. “I know some people that have gotten into car crashes because of it. I think there should be more laws to get rid of it but I don’t really know how you could [enforce it]. People would just put their phone down and pretend they weren’t.”
“[Distracted driving] causes a lot of accidents. I do think it is normalized but it’s not good,” Wutz said.
