A child who is less than eight years of age and less than four feet nine inches in height must be secured in a booster seat.

As of October 2009, you are now required to have the headlights of the vehicle you are driving turned on whenever the vehicle's wipers are being used because of precipitation on the windshield.  Ohio law also states the headlights are to be on from sunset to sunrise and at any time there is insufficient natural light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
