Habeus Corpus, under US law, is a writ. Article 1, Section 9:
Quote:
|
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.

It's not a right, but it's constitutionally protected.
I've read the rest of the Constitution, but I still see nothing about driving. I am aware that freedom to travel within our borders is protected, but that does not translate to the mode of transportation. Again, driving is not a right. Just because you think it should be a right doesn't make it a right.

I agree. They probably wouldn't throw up at you saying driving is a right, but they might laugh a bit. Because there is no right to ride a horse in the Constitution, you can bet they didn't intend a right to drive.
