She does have the right to travel freely; she can walk, ride a bike, etc. The operation of a motor vehicle and it's presence on the road is not a right, but a privilege licensed by the State.

That privilege was not granted to her, as she failed to comply with the requirements necessary to receive it. She then abused it, TWICE.

I can sympathize with folks who are involved in a motor vehicle accident that results in a death. My sister was involved in one where a young boy died. Despite the fact that she was not at fault (won the DMV hearing, was cleared by a grand jury, and won the civil suit), she was utterly devastated and even more cautious whenever she found the strength to get behind the wheel.

For whatever reason, this woman took the plea bargain. She is obligated to adhere to the terms of it; she did not.

If she hadn't flouted the law, hadn't tried to skirt her responsibilities to operate her vehicle with the right training and licensing, she wouldn't be in the situation she's in now (I have no doubt that her driving without a license and insurance was a major factor in the decision to prosecute her). Further, if she thought about her kids more, she would have taken the steps necessary to keep her sorry butt out of jail now.

In her world, obviously, the rules were designed for someone else.

Jeez, the number of people who believe that it is a privelege to operate a vehicle on the roadways is staggering. No wonder they politicians can steal our rights so easily. Hell, most people don't even know they have them to start with!

I will not rehash my argument AGAIN. Please read more of my posts on this thread.
