Jamestown High School

It was a tough, but good day. Fred, Alvin, and Christy spoke to students at Jamestown High School, Christopher’s school, about the dangers of distracted driving, not buckling up, speeding, and other risk factors among teen drivers.

If you’re new to our page, Fred was in the vehicle with Christopher the night of the crash and Alvin was there right after the crash and tried to perform CPR on Chris. Their perspectives have been extremely impactful during these times we get to share. #Buckleup #PhoneDown #DriveSafely

Testifying at the VA House of Delegates in support of HB 2475

Update: HB2475 passed last night 4-1 and will be presented before the House Transportation Committee. If you know anyone on this committee, please reach out and ask for them to support our bill that will include all to seats to our current seat belt law. Virginia is the worst state in the country for seat belt usage at only 73%. This is a good step forward and will save many lives.

Scott, Fred, Alvin and Christy testify at 4:00pm for HB 2475. Our hope is for the bill to be strengthened further by making buckling up a primary law and increasing the current fine of only $25.

Virginia Seat Belt Legislation

The Christopher King Foundation is currently advocating for a stricter seat belt law in Virginia, as the state has the lowest seat belt usage rate in the country, with only 73% of residents buckling up.  Currently tracking HB 2475 which will add all seats to Virginia’s current law.  We also need to increase the fines (it is currently only $25) and make it a primary enforcement law.  See all the stats below:

Testimony at the General Assembly for HB 2096

Christy had the opportunity to testify at the General Assembly for HB 2096 for technology to stop repeat reckless drivers. The driver responsible for Christopher’s death was driving recklessly at 80 mph in a 30 mph zone and had a prior reckless driving offense among others. This technology would have saved Christopher’s life. Another step in the right direction to save lives. Still waiting to testify for the seat belt bill HB 2475.

Bruton High School Visit

We had a fantastic time at Bruton High School in York Co. today! The students were awesome and we loved being able to partner with Virginia State Police and York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office! These agencies, the Driver's Ed teachers, Coach Jones and Morrison, and SRO Damon do an incredible job teaching teens the importance of safe driving, but making it fun along the way! It was a honor to speak about seat belt safety and to share Christopher's story. #BuckleUp #DriveSafe York County School Division
