The statement that best explains what happens, based on Newton's First Law, is:

**You keep moving forward because objects in motion stay in motion unless acted on by a force.**

This accurately describes the situation where you continue to move forward when the car suddenly stops, as your body remains in motion until the seat belt exerts a force to stop you.
