If you couldn't get an insurance settlement because you were too stupid to wear a seatbelt, the rates wouldn't go up. Not to mention the taxes that we would save which are created by enforcement of the seatbelt laws and support of the court systems.

Make putting them back together their problem, not the insurance company's.
