The obvious retort is that one is a privilege and the other is a protected, pre-existing right. Another failing in that logic is that more people are killed in vehicular incidents than by gunfire.
IMHO a huge failing of DL’s is that it is a one time affair. I believe there should be gradiations to DL’s (more driving education should give those drivers higher speed privileges) and an annual or bi-annual recertification (some people just should not drive).
Driving is not a privilege. We have a common law right to freely move about. There is no constitutional role for the government to restrict movement or require papers to travel.
:: the other is a protected, pre-existing right. ::
To be precise and to ward off the Constitutional right” fanbois...
A God given right by virtue of our existence and status as human beings. Only God can rescind it.
Yeah, especially in New York!
My gosh, don’t give them even more tyrannical ideas.
Different licensing levels?
How about this - since even illegals have the right to a driver’s license in the 13 states they most gravitate to, how about we eliminate driver licensing all together?
