More than 700 people cited for texting while driving in Ohio

COLUMBUS — More than 700 people have been cited for texting or using electronic devices while driving since a state ban on such activities took full effect two years ago, according to new statistics compiled by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Mahoning County had the most teen citations, with 10, though the majority of those came during the first 10 months of enforcement. Wayne County was second with six. Most other counties had two or fewer, and 40 counties have had no teen citations to date.

Eight adults have been cited in Mahoning County since the texting ban took effect.

Thirteen adults and no teens were cited in Trumbull County, and three adults and one teen were cited in Columbiana County.
