CMV: We should not have laws that govern our own safety

I’m talking about laws like, wearing a seat belt, riding without a helmet, doing drugs, doing a certain sport because it’s too dangerous, etc etc, I could go on forever.
I don’t quite understand how we’ve come to develop laws like this, can we not trust people to make their own decisions? And if that decision ends up in injury or death, than so be it, it was there choice.
Was it not once survival of the fittest?

We should at least have this kind of freedom in my opinion, no I won’t do most of these, but they should be an option because I can look after myself without having laws that say I can’t do certain things that does not affect anyone else.
Now of course I have many exceptions to this view.
Most importantly, anything that could harm or hurt or inconvenience anyone else.
Someone’s age, whether they be too old or too young to make decisions.
And a few others of course, so please, do not mention exceptions.

A little bit of a callous argument here, but we have chosen as a society to help take care of the sick and injured whether or not they can pay. It’s simply more expensive to take care of those people than to have them wear helmet, wear seatbelt, etc.
