If enough people were personally responsible with helmets, seat belts, use
of headlights, etc. then you wouldn't need "unnecessary legislation" in the
first place.  Sadly, there are too many people who aren't "dorking around"
with their safety equipment in use and you end up having to legislate it.
The system also needs legislation for the car makers to develop and provide
the safety options at a reasonable price.
