Ohio’s traffic laws are notoriously lenient within the context of the broader
country. In fact, Ohio ranked close to the bottom of the latest report released by
the Advocated for Highway and Auto
Safety organization.
The report ranked states based on a list of 16 specific laws proven to reduce
traffic facilities. Ohio had enacted just five of the recommended 16 laws designed
to reduce fatalities on the road. Just four states were ranked lower than Ohio.
The figure from Ohio accident reports shows that the state has a long way to go
regarding reducing the number of fatalities on the roads.
