Ohio motor vehicle accident attorney, Scott Kuboff, discusses a driver’s duty to operate their vehicle with reasonable control - this means both hands on the wheel, eyes on the road (read: put the phone down), and drive at speeds appropriate for the road, traffic, and weather conditions. This duty is found in R.C. 4511.202.
R.C. 4511.202(A) provides “[n]o person shall operate a motor vehicle . . . on any street, highway, or property open to the public for vehicular traffic without being in reasonable control of the vehicle . . .”
If you have sustained an injury in a motor vehicle collision, please contact Scott for a no cost, no obligation consultation and case evaluation.
