driving is a privilege.
I'm not sure how old those quotes are, and one of them looks to be local only to chicago, but on a federal level. It just scares me of people who have had thier license revoked for reckless endgangerment/street racing/drunk driving habitually/medical reasons being on the road.
I think this is the line that sticks out
"though this right may be regulated in accordance with public interest and convenience."
it may start out as a right, but hey, they say the same thing about firearms. Look at the permits, the fees, the background checks. Some of these things may have all started out on a good note with the assumption that society was responsible and mature enough to deal with it, but it's just fairly evident that a lot of people still need babysitting.
I'm not really aware of anything in the actual bill of rights that says "lol haev sum keys and run em overz!"
