They aren't "Miranda" rights; they're Constitutional rights.

Miranda just means that a LEO has to give every suspect a lesson on his Constitutional rights before asking him questions.

Correct. Miranda simply makes a legal loop hole for criminals. The rights pre-existed even the Constitution and must be respected, but the Miranda requirement is an invention of the left.

When I drive my car I’m expected to know all the laws pertinent to driving. Ignorence is no excuse. The cop stopping me does not read my “rights”.

Only clever lawyers could cook up the Miranda nonsense with respect to nondriving crimes. I doubt a single innocent person has benefitted from Miranda. Only criminals benefit from it.
