Traffic Ticket Blitz Underway in Ohio Through July 26
There is a traffic ticket blitz underway in Ohio and five other states. The Ohio State Highway Patrol will join forces with other members of the 6-State Trooper Project to focus efforts on distracted driving enforcement statewide. The high-visibility enforcement effort begins Sunday, July 20 at 12:01 a.m. and continues through Saturday, July 26 at 11:59 p.m. The 6-State Trooper Project includes the Ohio State Highway Patrol, Kentucky State Police, Indiana State Police, Pennsylvania State Police, West Virginia State Police and the Michigan State Police.
OSP Sgt. Vincent Shirey told FOX 8 News that troopers will not just be looking out for texting. Shirey said they will also be looking for anything that takes your eyes, and your attention, off of the road. That could be changing the radio station or turning to pay attention to your kids, according to Shirey. “The Patrol is serious about eliminating threats on roadways, and we’re proud of this collaborative, multi- state effort,” said Colonel Paul A. Pride, Patrol superintendent. “By cracking down on distracted driving, we are making Ohio and surrounding states safer.”
Experience has told us that you can expect major traffic ticket patrols along I-75 and I-71 during this period. Arrests for OVI are targeted during this period as well. Given the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s proclivity to conduct drug searches, you should also expect to assert your right to refuse a search.
