Beware: Texting and Driving Officially Banned in Ohio as of Tomorrow (Friday)

The Dayton Daily News has a handy article focusing on the new texting and driving ban. It goes into effect tomorrow (Friday).

For adults, the violating the ban is a secondary offense, meaning you can get ticketed if you're pulled over and found to be in violation. For teens, however, it is a primary offense, meaning officers can pull them over for violating the ban.

For the first six months, warnings will be issued to those who text and drive. After that, a fine will be imposed of $150.
