Study Finds Ohio Below National Average For Distracted Driving

(From the Ohio Department of Transportation)

A new study reveals that Ohio drivers are staying more focused behind the wheel compared to the national average. The statewide analysis shows Ohio drivers tap on their phones about 7% less than the typical U.S. driver.

Drivers in Morrow, Madison, and Fayette counties tapped on their phones the least, while drivers in Highland, Seneca, and Butler counties tapped their phones the most.

Since the Phones Down law took effect in 2023, distracted driving has steadily declined across the state. The result? Safer roads and fewer distractions for everyone.
