Law enforcement stress defensive driving over Memorial Day weekend
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Hundreds of Ohio law enforcement agencies will have extra eyes on the road this weekend. Memorial Day weekend official kicks off the statewide 'Click it or ticket' campaign. The goal is to enforce Ohio's seat belt laws, promote safe driving habits and remove impaired drivers from the roads. Millions of Ohioans are expected to drive somewhere this weekend, whether across town to a neighborhood cookout or for a long weekend vacation. OSP says there's nothing like a defensive driver when the roads are busy. 'Make sure you're really looking back behind you before you make a lane change, don't rely on your car's technology,' said Sgt. Brice Nihiser, OSP. 'Nothing beats a safe driver, nothing beats a defensive driver. So just make sure you're looking in your mirrors, adjusting for everything that is around you.' Memorial Day is the start of what's know as the '100 deadliest days,' a period when traffic deaths and injuries typically increase during the summer months. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
