Trenton, NJ – Gov. Jon Corzine’s vow to advocate for seat belt use after being injured in a high-speed car crash has been embraced by safety advocates, and there’s hope he will take an equally strong stand against speeding.

Corzine wasn’t wearing his seat belt in an April 12 crash along the Garden State Parkway that broke his leg, 11 ribs, collarbone and sternum and put him in a hospital for 18 days. The crash occurred as his state trooper-driven SUV was traveling 91 mph in a 65 mph zone.
I’m going to do some things on this seat belt issue,” Corzine said earlier this week, though he hasn’t elaborated on his specific plans.
Safety advocates hope the multimillionaire governor’s promise to advocate for seat belts will make a difference.
“AAA believes that Gov. Corzine has the opportunity to be an advocate unlike any other,” said David Weinstein, spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic. “His voice is incredibly potent right now.” [AP]
