In 99% of situations I agree with you, but a few other driving laws:
speed limits?
drunk driving?
handicapped parking?
I never approve of laws that protect me from myself, but I do appreciate some laws that protect me from other people.
When the biggest danger to my life is other drivers, I get concerned.
45,000 driving deaths a year.
Ever 2 years is more deaths than all americans that died in vietnam.
Every year is ~15 september 11ths.
I suppose that it's a bigger issue for me because my parents regularly drive the Seward Highway in Alaska, which is notorious for head-on collisions. This past summer had a number of head-on collisions due to texting while driving.
