“You can drive all you want on your private land without a license. You can’t drive on a public highway or street without a license.”

So the assertion that “Driving a car is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT“ is inaccurate because there is a right to drive a car.

This is not necessarily true. Operation of a motor vehicle on private property is regulated to some degree. First off, you can’t just defeat the carburation system, or change the bore.

Your "right" to drive the car becomes a licensed privilege as soon as the car rolls onto a public street. You have a right to keep and bear arms, but don't walk into a court house or a post office will a loaded firearm. There are limits.
