>Driving someone around shouldn't be so complicated.

Until someone gets driven 60 miles out of town on the way to the airport and left there unless they have a "special" fee...

It's almost as if these regulations were put in place for a reason.

Ok, how do these regulations help that?

Taking someone somewhere against their will is already illegal, which of these extra laws (and taxes) prevent that?

The result would be the same in either case - the driver would be held accountable for, basically, kidnapping and extortion, and you'll be left either short more money or stranded 60 miles out of town. A regulation in place isnt going to prevent someone from doing that. Regulations would have no impact on that case.

Molesting children is already illegal but it turns out not letting convicted child molesters run day care is also a good idea.

For the same reason that regulations help in all sorts of areas; you pre-vet the people authorized to do the service to reduce the likelihood of this occurring. It's exactly the same as regulating doctors, lawyers, financial planners, truck drivers, teachers, daycare workers etc, etc, etc.
