Ohio Law Limits Teen Passengers
According to the Public Safety Department, 16-year-old drivers were at fault in 85 percent of the fatal crashes in which they were involved in 2006.
And, among 16- and 17-year-olds, one passenger in an automobile statistically doubled the risk of a crash occurring. Traffic crashes are the number one killer of teenagers.
Consider the following national statistics:
* Two of every five teens dying in America do so as the result of a traffic crash
* Total costs associated with traffic deaths for children 14 and younger amounts to $11,000,000,000 annually
* 60 percent of teen traffic crashes occur on roadways with posted speed limits of 40 miles per hour or less
* Three-fourths of all traffic crashes occur within 25 miles of the victim's home.
Provisions of the law include:
* Drivers under 17 may have only one non-family passenger, unless the driver is accompanied by their parent or guardian
* 17- and 18-year-olds are forbidden from driving between 1 and 5 a.m., unless they are accompanied by their parent or guardian (exceptions include travel to and from school activities or job, with documentation provided by employers)
* Probationary license holders 16 and younger may not drive between midnight and 6 a.m. unless they are accompanied by their parent or guardian (exceptions include travel to and from school activities or job, with documentation provided by employers)
* Temporary instruction permit holders 17 and younger may not drive between midnight and 6 a.m. unless they are accompanied by their parent or guardian who holds a valid license
* Passengers under the age of 15 must use approved restraint systems, such as a seat belt.
* If a driver 16 and younger is convicted of a moving violation within the first six months after receiving their license, they will be required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian when driving for six months after the conviction or until the driver turns 17.

Considering these statistics, parents need to be more vigilant in protect their teens. Always know where your teen is and what he or she is doing. With a GPS unit installed in the teen's vehicle, you can always check to be sure your teen is safe. This is not a violation of your teen's privacy, this is your responsibility as a parent. Ohio is doing its part as a state to try to save the lives of teens. As a parent, do all you can to protect your teen.
