Fine. You don't need a "license" to peaceably travel from place to place using contemporary conveyances.
Wars were fought over this.
You need a license to use the public roads. And you have an immediate problem if they take your license in that you now need to get your vehicle AND you home without you behind the wheel, because there’s cops right there that know you don’t have a license (because they took it). Yeah later you can get around with a suspended license, just don’t get pulled over. I knew a guy who spent 5 or 6 years without a license, because he wasn’t smart enough to not do other illegal things while driving on that lack of license, so he’d get tickets for both his moving violation AND driving on a suspended license, which restarted his suspension clock. Turned into a very expensive hobby for him.
I have tried a handful DUIs with excellent results. Too difficult to beat in CA anymore. I agree with the info in the article. The best advice I can add is to refuse the FSTs. It varies by state, but in CA, to win you must beat both the FST, AND the formal tests, i.e. blood, breath, or urine.
