Ohio lawmakers want to crack down on reckless driving in work zones

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Speeding, distracted or reckless driving in a work zone is already an offense in Ohio, but some lawmakers want to do more by putting offenders back in the classroom.  

“It's just trying to change the culture,” Rep. Mark Johnson (R-Chillicothe) said. “We have far too many fatalities. We have far too many injuries.”  

“I don't think any text is worth someone's life,” said Bethany Billi, executive director of Laborers Employers Cooperation and Education Trust (LECET).
