You absolutely do have the right to drive.

So even if you are blind? Fail a driver's exam?


Nice diversion, but it is understood that the right is for those who are demonstrably capable of exercising it. If someone can get adequate private insurance without having taken a driving exam, I am fine with that. Exams and certification should be in the hands of insurance companies, not the government.

The only government restriction I see needed for the right to drive is to prominently post proof of prepaid liability insurance of an amount adequate to compensate others (not the BS minimums that most states have), maybe $250k, or maybe $1m.

That proposal falls somewhere between a lottery and a protection racket.
