Driving is a privilege, not a right.

A lot of people have bought into that garbage. Makes it easy to throw the Constitution out the window when you can just classify everything as a "priviledge"

You might want to do some research on the common law right to travel.

You might also take a look at the 9th and 10th amendments to the Constitution.

Sigh. Yes, you do indeed have a right to travel. But you don’t have a right to use public roadways to do it while behind the wheel of a car. Travel is a right. Driving is privilege. Get it?.

You obviously have never read the studies about driving while talking on cell phones. The evidence is overwhelming that it is almost as bad as driving drunk.

I can speak from my own experience that it is difficult to concentrate when in a discussion while driving.

You have a right to travel. You do not have a right to do it while driving a car. You can walk, or ride a horse or take a bus. Operation of a motor vehicle is not a right.....
