That are the reasons to prohibit it.
Same logic - some people say that safety belts should not be enforced as it is HIS/HER own life. Do you agree with that?
I do not because losing those lives actually COST to society (one less person to contribute etc etc). That is why they are enforced, even though it is his/her own life...

Seat belts serve more than one purpose. It's not just about "restraining" you to save your life. The seat belt also helps keep you in a position to better control your vehicle. It's not just about saving your life but making sure you can at least try to control your car after it's been hit but is still moving.
Same can be said for the passengers because having them strapped in place, means they will not be flying around inside the car affecting the drivers ability to get back control in-case of a spin for instance.
It's not just about saving your life but also saving others sharing the road with you.
