Ohio law classifies distracted driving as a secondary offense, meaning police are not allowed to use it as the sole reason for pulling a driver over, but they can issue tickets for the offense if the traffic stop occurs for another violation.

"Distracted driving happens. We just don't want anyone to get injured or worse from someone distracted behind the wheel," the tweet said.
