A drivers license represents proper training. Without proper, regulated training we would all be in much deeper trouble on the roads, don't you think? If you cannot meet certain standards, you cannot have a license. If you can meet those standards, you can.

Would you also say, to paraphrase, "You have a right to freedom of driving no matter what your age. If you make it to 100, you'll still be able to drive."
Somehow, they seem a bit different. I have always considered free speech to be a right. I've never really thought of driving as a 'right'.
