Unit testing - fix bugs which I think are imposible to happen in reality? - El Forum - 05-22-2012

hello,
lets say I have function which inserts row. But one of the fields is lets say clients_id. I cannot insert that row if clients_id is not in another table (foreign key does not exist), then database throws error.
So my unit test will get errors with wrong client id.
But actually I see in my application that it is imposible situation because, cliens_id is taken from session, and if session is gone, then page will be redirected to login page, so no insert will be made anyway.
So now the question - what in your opinion is best practice - to fix still that error, or not even test that insert function if I see its imposible that wrong client_id is passed?
