Ohio Implements Stricter Distracted Driving Laws with Increased Penalties

Ohio has implemented enhanced distracted driving laws targeting motorists who use cell phones or text while driving. The updated legislation increases penalties, introduces points on licenses for violations, and allows law enforcement to issue citations as a primary offense rather than a secondary one.

Brenner Law Offices commends this step forward in road safety, noting that distracted driving remains a major cause of accidents across the state. The firm’s Ohio distracted driving accident lawyers explain that the tougher penalties not only encourage safer driving but also strengthen victims’ claims in cases involving driver negligence.

‘Every day, we see the devastation caused by just a few seconds of distraction,’ said a spokesperson for the firm. ‘Ohio’s decision to elevate enforcement is an important move toward saving lives and preventing avoidable injuries.’

Under the new law, first-time offenders face higher fines, while repeat violations may lead to license suspension. The legislation also funds education programs that highlight the dangers of mobile device use behind the wheel.
