The right to regulate the use of motor vehicles is not delegated tot he United States, nor prohibited by it to the states. It's therefore reserved to the states respectively, or the people.
This amendment allows individual states to regulate driving (and many other things) as they see fit. It's a crucial aspect of the governmental doctrine of Federalism. I find it downright weird that I have to point this out to you, of all people.
