Ohio traffic fatalities were down 9.7 percent last year, but so far this year they’re back up 10.2 percent. What do you think is going on?
ROCKY MAYES, New Lebanon: “Nobody had any money to travel last year. People are starting to get on the road again.”
SCOTT KIER, Carlisle: “Inattentive driving. You can watch a person driving normal, and then see them get a call and you can totally see their driving change. They start tailgating and weaving. I would be all for banning cell phones in a moving vehicle.”
DEBBIE BASINGER, Huber Heights: “Road construction. People are driving too fast through there.”
CRAIG TIREY, Dayton: “People just don’t pay attention to things around them. Maybe they’re paying attention to too many other things — playing with their cell phones or eating or even reading behind the wheel. It’s always terrifying when you see someone with a book propped up on the steering wheel.”
DINEE KIER, Carlisle: “Cell phones. I see all kinds of people texting while driving.”
BOB STANAFORD, Centerville: “It’s all the road construction. Where southbound 75 and Route 4 comes in, you can’t tell whether you should go left or right.”
