Are Restrictions Necessary?

[Master_of_the_Faster]

Are certain restrictions necessary? When I say restrictions, I mean wearing a seatbelt, ratings for video games, ratings for movies, etc. I mean if the majority of the population wore seatbelts as a habit, would we still need to have a law? I absolutely dislike laws that restrict me from doing actions that I know I could do responsibly like watching a R-rated movie alone. However, the way I see things is that if the majority of people do not tie their shoe laces and it becomes a problem, I would see why there would need to be a law passed in order for people to wear their shoe laces. Do you guys believe that this law would still need to exist if the majority of people learned to tie their shoe laces properly or drink responsibly without this law? Do you guys believe that we could just place harsher penalties for those who actually cause an injury? After all, if the teacher sees you talking, why should the entire class recieve detention? Also, do you guys believe that something like drinking responsibly could even become an action that the majority of people could eventually perform?
