Stricter rules for Ohio teen drivers effective July 1, 2015

Ohio will enact new rules for teen drivers in July; a move they hope will prevent fatal crashes and prevent injuries.

* Drive between midnight and 6am (certain exemptions apply)
*Can not have more than one non-family member in the vehicle
*All passengers must use safety belts
*NO use of any mobile communication device while driving
