I don't think you can deny that the way driving is treated is as a privilege that is regulated by the several states. Let's say I stipulate that that's a violation of my God Given Right to Drive (we'll fiat an 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Drive). How would you like it to be? How would you manage it? Who should get to drive? At what age? Should there be any case where they should be removed from their car?

why do you keep insisting that the only fucking rights anyone has are what is listed in the bill of rights? did you ever take a real history class? |
I know you were in full-on defensive mode when you responded with that non sequitur, so I want to ask again.
I'm not trying to score a point with that question (my snarkiness at the beginning of it notwithstanding). I'm actually interested in how you picture it would WORK, if we were to treat driving as a right. Would anyone who could lay hands on a car be free to drive it? Would they be free to drive at any speed, in any direction, in any lane? I'm actually
asking here, so please answer. Where, if anywhere, do you draw the line between the free exercise of rights, and a system that makes things work all people?
