Driving is as much a privilege as riding a horse was in the past. For most it is absolutely vital. It is interesting how quickly we lovers of freedom tow the statist propaganda line whenever emotional subject matter is involved.

Why would driving be "privilege" as opposed to a "right"? Does anyone have the power to arbitrarily or whimsically deprive you of your right to drive sans the due process of law? It's true that you must have a license, but can't it be said that you have a right to a license to drive which is only a trivial distinction?

Not sure but I think we are on the same page. My position is that driving is not a state provided privilege. Anymore than riding a horse was a state provided privilege in the past. And certainly due process takes rights from people in response to crimes.
