I know this will not be a popular statement but here goes. Sometimes laws must be enacted to protect idiots from themselves. The helmet law is such a case in point.
I find that most of these "We know what's good for you" sort of laws are put together by clueless politicians who are using them to either gain votes or get extra cash from special interests.

Wearing a seat belt in no way effects comfort or freedom whilst driving
Unfortunately, that is not always true, but they are getting better. The OL had a terrible time with seatbelt vs boob interference problems until we got the new Dodge with an adjustable shoulder belt anchor. I have an ex who was an even 5 ft tall. In here case, it was shoulder belt vs neck. If she ever got into a crash, it would have been really bad. Just driving a half hour would start sawing through her skin.
