At some point in their lives, Ohioans have likely shared the road with a bad driver. Whether these individuals are speeding, using their phones or not paying attention to posted traffic signs, they often pose a threat to the safety of everyone around them. While many individuals make mistakes because of a lack of attention or awareness of the danger posed by their actions, there are occasional drivers who make reckless choices regardless of how well known the dangers are. Two such choices are drug-impaired or drunk driving, both of which cause fatal car accidents in Ohio every year.
