We were honored to attend last Thursday's press event where the VirginiaDMV announced a new seat belt campaign in City of Danville, Pittsylvania Co., and Franklin Co. This is a community-developed campaign intended to emphasize the importance of seat belts, with residents sharing their own reasons for wearing one.
According to the DMV, a recent analysis estimates that Pittsylvania and Franklin County seat belt usage is around 72.3%, which is below the 2025 state average of 78.8%.
