That's the answer!  If courts would recognize the failure to wear
a seatbelt as "not taking appropriate precautions" (there must be
some legaleze phrase) and then reduced or discarded any injury claims,
things might change a bit.  Especially if insurance companies took
the same attitude toward their clients.
