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.
WAVY 10 Interview
Help us continue pushing for HB 2475 to be strengthened further by making it a primary law and increasing the current fine of only $25. #seatbeltssavelives. Click HERE to watch Christy’s interview with WAVY 10.
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.

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims
This day focuses on both the overall scale and the individual devastation caused by road deaths and injuries and the impact upon families and communities around the world. Almost 4,000 people are killed and many hundreds of thousands injured on roads throughout the world every day. Many more have to cope with bereavement or the effects of injury and thus become part of the huge group of people affected by road carnage. https://youtu.be/nnFEBqXsrok
