In principle, I'm with you on all three points. However, there's also
the cost to society of handling the results of people's careless
choices. If, say, cyclists not wearing helmets results in lots of
emergency room capacity being taken up by them, thus reducing the
available capacity for handling other patients, then society may have a
right to demand that they start wearing those helmets.
