How about people who voluntarily put others in danger or at risk?

It's a fact that back seat passengers who don't wear seat belts put the front seat passenger(s) at a 600% greater risk of being injured or killed in a head on collision.

And again the associative costs:

In 2013 the CDC did a study and found that drivers and passengers who weren't wearing seat belts resulted in lifetime medical and lost work costs of $45 billion dollars.
