Putting on your seatbelt is very easy and it could save your life.
Inevitably some people can't/won't use good judgement (or even agree on what constitutes "good" and/or "judgement"), making it necessary to legislate things that should be common sense.
Of course, some people then have the time/money to nitpick ways in which the law should not apply to their unique special case.
Eventually, you need large (and very expensive) buildings to properly host these arguments, with special arrangements for the judge, jury, attorneys, accused. All necessary because we have these guaranteed rights and freedoms, which we squander on pointless stupidity.
