New Ohio Distracted Driver Law

Ohio's new distracted driving law starts this week: What you need to know (msn.com)

"Texting while driving is already illegal in Ohio but a new law takes effect this week that will make it easier for officers to pull motorists over for distracted driving.

The new, upgraded law makes distracted driving − texting, checking social media, streaming videos − a primary offense. That means police no longer need to see another traffic infraction before making the stop.

On Monday, Gov. Mike DeWine said a statewide effort will launch soon to educate Ohio drivers about the new law. DeWine said a new website is up to inform drivers at phonesdown.ohio.gov"
