No one in Ohio’s rural counties wear seatbelts. That is why it needs to be a primary offense that can get the driver & the unrestrained passenger a ticket for. Had it been a primary offense and this girl been ejected there would not be a vehicular homicide charge pending against the other girl.
EJECTED= NO SEATBELT. Tragic accident that could have possibly been prevented.
