It seems to me to be an absolute priviledge. The people have an interest in keeping certain people from driving because those individuals are just not good at it. It is for the public good that some people need to have their licenses and cars taken from them because they could hurt people.
I don't see how you can really argue that it's a right. dk, the cases you quoted seem to be limited to TRANSPORTATION, not driving. Transportation (and free movement) are indeed rights, but the priviledge of piloting the vehicle yourself can be revoked. Having someone else do it for you, either by hire or as a favor cannot be infringed upon.
