The first time he met Thurman, Tarantino was certain she would be the lead actress in his black comedy Pulp Fiction. The Red, White & Royal Blue star went on to play the iconic Mia Wallace in the movie, hailed as one of the greatest films ever made.

It was during the final days of filming that Tarantino asked Thurman to drive a blue convertible Karmann Ghia for the famous scene in which the Bride drives to kill Bill. However, Thurman had been informed by someone in the production that the car had been reconfigured from a stick shift to an automatic and might not work properly.

When her lawyer asked to see the footage from the mounted car camera, Miramax said they would only show it if Thurman signed an agreement releasing them from any responsibility for future pain and suffering.

But almost exactly five and a half years ago, she was in a fender-bender with several other cars. Everyone else walked away, and her rental car was not badly damaged, but a defective recalled Takata airbag exploded, like a hand grenade going off in the car, propelling metal fragments that sliced an artery in her neck, and she bled to death.

My precious, talented, beautiful daughter Jewel was only 26 years old when she was killed by an exploding Takata airbag in a recalled car. The safety recall was issued months before she was handed the keys. If anyone had taken the time to get the free safety recall repairs done, she would still be alive today. Every day I think of her and miss her beyond words. I am devoting my life to sparing others such a horrendous loss.

Many other states have already rejected similar bills. If New Jersey passes these bills, it will become a national dumping ground for cars with safety defects like exploding airbags, bad brakes, loss of steering, sticking accelerator pedals, hoods that fly open in traffic, wheels that fall off, and catching on fire.

January 6, 2019 was the worst day of my life. It was the day I lost my family. And it happened in the most horrific of ways. My sister Rima, my brother-in-law Issam, my two nieces, Isabella and Giselle, and nephew Ali were driving on I-75 through Lexington, Kentucky, from a vacation in Florida, when a wrong-way drunk driver hit their SUV head-on, killing every one of them. Five incredible people; an entire family; MY family; gone in an instant.

A proposal by Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie, who represents a community not far from the location where my family was killed in a state that has experienced a 21% increase in drunk driving deaths since 2019, would reverse all of the progress toward our goal of preventing other families from experiencing the devastating trauma caused by people who choose to drive while intoxicated.

In an amendment to a funding bill for the U.S. Department of Transportation that will be voted on early next week, Representative Massie seeks to cancel a provision in the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act directing the U.S. Department of Transportation to create a rule for automakers to integrate impaired driving prevention technology into new vehicles by November 15, 2024. The provision of the law is named the Honoring Abbas Family Legacy to Terminate (HALT) Drunk Driving Act in memory of my family.

I am offended and outraged that Congressman Massie would introduce his amendment. I was horrified to watch him mischaracterize the technology and its intent to fellow members of Congress during a hearing on Wednesday night.

Every day in America, 37 people are killed and more than 1,000 people are injured by drunk driving crashes. A growing number of drivers in fatal and serious injury crashes are testing positive for drugs other than alcohol. And over the past few years, drunk driving deaths have skyrocketed from about 10,000 per year to more than 13,000. Impaired driving prevention technology, when fully implemented, would save 10,100 lives a year, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
