Ohio Traffic Safety Laws Rank at the Bottom

Ohio "dangerously falls behind" with its traffic safety laws and the annual economic cost associated with motor vehicle collisions is an estimated $10.125 billion. According to a new report issued by Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, Ohio is lacking the following traffic safety laws:

  • Primary Enforcement Seat Belt Law (Front & Rear)

  • All-Rider Motorcycle Helmet Law

  • Rear-Facing Through Age 2 Law

  • Booster Seat Law

  • Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) - Minimum Age 16 for Learner’s Permit

  • GDL - Stronger Nighttime Restriction

  • GDL - Age 18 for Unrestricted License

  • Ignition Interlocks for All Offenders

  • Open Container Law

  • All-Driver Text Messaging Restriction (as a primary offense)
