robertpaulsen made his usual assertion, "Driving a motor vehicle is a privilege, not a right".

Living Stone found a link in comment# 71 that says driving is a right, not a privelege.

I think we have to be careful about what we decide to call "rights." Are there same sex marriage "rights," for example? There's a whole category of "opportunities" in our society that fall within life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness -- but don't fall within the realm of "rights." For example, the term "human rights" is much abused today. Everything has become a human right from cheap transportation to the "freedom from being insulted." When everything is a right, the real rights -- like the right to keep and bear arms and freedom of speech -- are forgotten. (CFR is an affront to anyone who understands its implications to freedom of speech and this election is an example of it!)
