When your car is going 55 mph, so is your body. And in a crash, your body keeps going until something stops it. Make sure that “something” is your seat belt, and you’ll reduce your risk of death in a crash by 45% or more. Seat belt enforcement is happening May 18–31. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=i0_h16xa…
