Almost right. Those rules mentioned were not made to save someone against
his own will, but to save someone against the stupidity of others. Some
smart aleck may think that 30mph within cities is to slow for a freedom
loving person like him, ignoring that this rule wasn't made to annoy him,
but to protect the others. A society without any such rules would break
down soon because of the effort for everyone to protect himself against
others and their "freedom". So, too few (or wrong) rules is bad, too many
rules is also bad. A middle course is the answer, not black, not white.
But I understand that somehow you love to drive everything to the most
absurd extreme.

I still miss any serious facts that support your claim.
