The texting ban for Ohio drivers will take effect Friday, the Associated Press reported.
For the next half year police will only issue warnings, texting while driving will be a secondary offense for drivers 18 and older, meaning an officer has to stop a driver for another offense first.
For drivers under 18, the ban is a primary offense and they are not allowed to text, use cell phones or other hand-held devices.
The ban does allow all drivers to text and use their cell phones in cases of an emergency.
