CHRISTY KING ADVOCATES FOR SEAT BELT SAFETY AFTER SON’S DEATH
Christy King started the Christopher King Foundation after her son Christopher died in a car accident because he wasn’t wearing a seat belt.
She worked to change Virginia’s seat belt laws, noting the state had low usage rates.
A new Virginia law taking effect July 1 will require all adult passengers in every seat to wear a seat belt, expanding on the previous front-seat-only requirement.
King emphasizes the message “Every seat. Every age. Every time.”
She is involved in educational programs like Junior Speed Busters to promote safe driving practices in schools.
The 5th Annual Cars for Chris event is being held on May 17 to raise awareness, kicking off the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer.
King is thankful for the bipartisan and community support that helped pass the new seat belt law.
Her mission is to save lives by encouraging seat belt usage.
