Republican doesn’t wear seatbelt in DC ‘because of carjacking’ despite data showing decline

www.theguardian.com

Senator echoes Trump’s claims about crime in Washington DC, disputing statistics showing a drop in car thefts and other violations

Number of carjackings in DC:

299 last year

Number of car crashes in DC:

22,000 a year

Not wearing a seat belt makes you 30 times more likely to be ejected during a crash:
