Ohio’s New Laws for Motorists.

We are a quarter of the way through 2017 and you probably are not aware that the Ohio legislature enacted dozens of new laws that took effect on January 1st.  Some of them may very well have an impact on you and you need to be aware of them.  This is especially true if you get pulled over one of these days for an offense you didn’t even know existed!

Did you know that Ohio motorists must give cyclists a minimum of three feet of clearance when passing?  Also, beginning in 2017 you can actually go through a stop light if it malfunctions and does not detect your vehicle coming to a stop.  If, heaven forbid, someone is killed with a car the driver’s license will be suspended AFTER they get out of prison instead of during their sentence.

We bring up these changes merely to illustrate that the driving laws of Ohio are fluid.  If you or someone you care about is pulled over and ticketed or arrested for a traffic violation, do not hesitate!  Call Northeast Ohio vehicle crime attorney Jon Sinn.  Just remember: the only sin is not calling Jon at (330) 431-0160.
