There have been a lot of articles arguing the idealistic pros and cons
of mandatory seatbelt laws, but relatively few suggesting any means of
enforcing such a law.  The only idea I can remember seeing is allowing
insurance companies to adjust their payments based on whether an injured
person was found to be wearing a seatbelt.  Does anyone have any other
ideas?

I have mixed feelings on the idealistic merits of a mandatory seatbelt
law, but I would certainly NOT support one unless it could be enforced
in some way.
