Safe Driving month

LISBON

September is Safe Driving Awareness Month and the Ohio State Highway Patrol is asking motorists to commit to driving only while buckled, focused and sober.

In addition, motorists help keep roadways safe when they take their time, drive defensively and know all traffic safety laws.

From 2010-2014, an average of 287,303 motor vehicle crashes occurred on Ohio’s public roadways each year. Of these, an average of 957 involved fatalities, with 1,043 being killed.

Last year, 1,008 people were killed in motor vehicle crashes. This was the second-lowest total recorded in Ohio since record-keeping began in the 1930s.
