You do not have the right to drive, it is a privilege, and to keep that privilege there are rules to follow.


You quote the big government socialists nicely.

I think that we have the right to transport ourselves freely at our own expense in our free nation. Subject to user fees for the shared expense of public roads, but if those who pay the fee have the right to use them.

"Privilege" is a cute word, but it is meaningless unless you tell us the principles under which the privilege can and can not be revoked. Once you do that, you have a "right", subject to responsibilities. Just like speech and bearing arms.

Excellent. You said it better than I could.
