Distracted driving is still a serious problem.
Hamilton County recorded nearly 3,800 distracted-driving crashes from 2021-2025, ranking second in Ohio. And it’s not just about phones passengers and other activities inside the car can take your attention away from the road too.
Remember:
1. Put your phone away before you drive
2. Keep your eyes and attention on the road
3. Avoid unnecessary distractions inside the car
4. Stay focused from the moment you start driving
A few seconds of distraction can be enough to miss what’s happening ahead.
Safe driving starts with full attention behind the wheel.
