I'm against (mildly) laws that mandate personal safety, like helmet and
seat-belt laws, but I'm in favor of laws that mandate public safety.

I feel about the same when it comes to personal safety law... The problem
comes when the non-seatbelt wearing driver with no medical insurance goes
through the windshield and ends up in a hospital for several months or worse
a vegetable in an institution. As tax payers, we end up paying for it.
