April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and while distracted driving remains a significant concern in Ohio, new data indicates that two years after the state’s “phones down” law took effect, Ohio is seeing positive, lifesaving results.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and leaders from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) are encouraged by new data that shows the state’s strengthened distracted driving law is making a positive impact on Ohio’s roadways.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson, Ohio State Highway Patrol Superintendent Colonel Charles Jones and Ohio Department of Transportation Director Jack Marchbanks Monday unveiled a new statewide public awareness campaign to draw attention to Ohio’s strengthened distracted driving laws.
