SAFETY BELTS, CRASH HELMETS AND INSURANCE

AUTOGORDELS, VALHELMEN EN DE VERQEKERING

The Dutch company of vehicle insurance companies advises their members not to change their insurance conditions with regard to the use and non-use of safety belts and crash helmets. In cases of legal responsibility the situation must be handled carefully if drivers by not wearing safety belts or crash helmets have increased their injury demonstrably. Only in particular cases can a decrease of the responsibility for indemnity be assumed. /TRRL/
