State troopers wrote nearly 11,700 tickets for distracted driving last year.
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Distracted driving is on the rise in Ohio, and 19 Investigates found it happened the most last year in Cuyahoga County.“We’ve seen people applying makeup, reading newspapers. It just, it really just runs a wide range of activities that folks, you know, shouldn’t be doing while driving a car,” said Sgt. Santiago, of the OSHP.That’s over 2,000 more than they wrote in 2020.“We all know that folks, you know, around this area are hard working.
Santiago said these types of crashes are often under reported, since not every driver admits to being distracted.Forty percent of violators are between the ages of 15 and 24. “There’s a lot of distractions by young folks that don’t have driving experience which makes it all the more dangerous,” Sgt. Santiago said.
