OK, so you are saying I am spreading a lie. I will repeat the truth to you, and see if you can understand it.
Public roadways belong to various government bodies. State highways, city streets etc. Each state has a governing body that issues drivers licenses to extend privileges to its states residents to operate a motor vehicle on those public roadways. IT IS NOT A RIGHT.
Those driving privileges can be suspended. Get to many citations, get a DWI (or DUI), have unpaid traffic violation convictions, your driving privileges will be revoked. In most states, if you get a DWI or DUI your driving privileges are suspended at the time of the arrest for a specific period of time.
This does not prevent one from operating a motor vehicle on private property, that would be a RIGHT. To operate the motor vehicle on a public roadway maintained by the state, county or city, is a privilege. Those driving privileges come with rules that you must abide by to maintain those driving privileges, and they vary slightly state by state. Those rules would be things like complying with speed limits, using turn signal to indicate lane changes, maintain vehicle liability insurance etc... Another rule most all states mandate to operate a vehcile on a public roadway is to carry your drivers license with you while operating a motor vehicle on a public roadway. That drivers license is your permission to operate a vehicle on the public roadway, because it is a privilege. Thats what a license is, revoke that license, your driving privileges re revoked.
As to your other comment on my post... I posted: "In the 60's when they first started putting pictures on driver's licenses, was that a government infringement?"
You answered "Yes."
Then don't get a license. If you do not agree with the rules of your state government to obtain its permission to drive on their roadways, don't get one. You just will not have legal driving privileges.
There is the truth.
I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas, that is the truth as well.
