[DiogenesLamp]

You have the right to ride in a vehicle on the public roads, but piloting one is a privilege.

No it is Not. People nowadays cannot make a living without the ability to drive.

But to explore further your position, was driving a horse cart also a privilege?

Depends on where you drive it. ;-)

The thing is, to further explore your position, should a person who simply cannot operate a motor vehicle be allowed to operate one?

The privilege thing is a big deal. You do not have to get a license to have the God given rights protected in the constitution. But operating a motor vehicle does take certain skills and abilities. There need to be minimum standards. However, once developed, they can’t be used in a discriminatory fashion. That is, the rules should apply identically to everyone. But there do need to be rules.
