But here's the catch. You don't NEED to drive a car. Therefore it isn't a right to drive, it's a privilege.

When did traveling down public roads paid for with our tax dollars in our privately-owned property become a "privilege?" When did America become so brainwashed that they willingly gave up that right?

"The right of the citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city may prohibit or permit at will, but a common law right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
- Thompson v. Smith, 154 SE 579.

Ok, please point me to the article and/or amendment in either the US Constitution or any State Constitution that states driving a vehicle is a 'right'. This is the same circular argument abortionist use when trying to support their view that abortion is a right.
