Show Notes
Ohio lawmakers propose toughening penalties for drivers who injure pedestrians in crosswalks, aiming to match the severity of the damage caused. The bipartisan bill seeks to upgrade penalties from minor misdemeanors to vehicular assault for negligent crashes causing serious harm, with fines up to $1,000 and jail time up to 180 days. The measure also targets repeat offenders and emphasizes the importance of drivers yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks.
