Please say Tehillim for Chaim Zev ben Bracha Fraida and Aharon Ben Raizel Yehudis.
Seatbelts must become as mandatory as another other mitzva or Halacha in Shulchan Aruch.
People have laissez-faire attitude of “ Hashem zol heeten…” aren’t doing hishtadlus.
Unfortunately in our culture a majority of folks view seatbelt safety and car seats like in the past before advancements were made.
Let’s not be like the ostrich who buried her head in the sand.
