We're pleased to see our home state of Virginia expanding its seat belt law to cover the back seats as of July 1. Strong laws and publicized enforcement play critical roles in boosting belt use and saving lives. Remember: An unbelted occupant poses a risk to everyone in the vehicle. Regardless of your state's law, make sure your passengers are belted on every trip! Explore belt laws across the country: https://lnkd.in/eyS9USDh
