That is a lot of lives saved. Coalition, our nation's capital leads the way in seat belt and child restraint enforcement and education. I think this is a wonderful idea and an important message to send. Let me say a special word of thanks to Chief Charles Ramsey and the dedicated officers under his command. You are saving our children and we thank you.
Traffic crashes are the number one killer of American children of all races.
Each year, six out of every ten children killed are unbuckled. This is why the laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia must be strictly enforced. And this is why these officers' work is so important. Coalition are not resting on their laurels. They want to do even better and save even more lives.
