Wrong...travel is a right. Via the shoe-leather express.
Driving isn’t a right, its a PRIVILEGE.
If this flies, remind me never to drive anywhere near Georgia with unlicensed, uninsured, and untaught morons behind the wheel.
Who says it is a priviledge?
Right on! I personally collect late 1800s horse and buggy plates. They are rare. Thank God we didn't just have folks going about their business back when. I mean hell, you can't have folks going about freely and all. It could be... dangerous or something. We need them tagged and herded. And taxed, mostly taxed...

I think you are misinformed, while I question his plan, I like the way he is thinking.
And I think you are describing half the drivers in DC.
Was using a horse and buggy, or just riding a horse, a privilege? Did we have licenses for those? If the state forces you to pay taxes to support roads even when you don’t drive (which they do), then why would using those roads be considered a privilege? Furthermore, let’s say you own 1,000 acres of land and you build roads on that land, maybe even a paved race track. Why would you need a license from the government to drive a car on your own road? If the license were only for driving on government-funded roads, one might make a case, but licenses are for driving ANY motor vehicle, anywhere. What justification is there for that? And a cop can pull you over at any time, for whatever reason, and demand you produce your license, which has your full name, address, and a state-assigned number. How is that different from requiring papers to travel?
sp have you ever driven in Florida or californa?
>>Driving isn’t a right, its a PRIVILEGE.
We live in a nation where mass transit is non-existent outside the big cities. Bike paths are dangerous and drivers are extremely hostile to bicyclists that are using the street. And now the housing market even prevents most people from selling their home and moving near their job.
Or do you support Soviet-style dormitories that are built next to your place of work?
‘Via the shoe-leather express.”
On what basis are you making that argument?
So you're saying that if I drive my own private vehicle on my own private property without any sort of license, I do so without a right to do so?
So you're saying all those folks who drove automobiles before the government got involved, to include Henry Ford and his first one, did so without a right to do so? Where did the privilege come from?
Did the Government tell you this?
Tell me, is it a privilege to build an addition onto your home? Digging a well? Cutting a tree? Flying an airplane? How about altering the motor on your own vehicle or carrying a gun?
Is everything the government controls and regulates a privilege for the peasants?
Clearly you have not driven anywhere near Atlanta lately. This is what is on the road now. This would just make it official. /semi sarcasm
Have you driven in GA lately?...they're already there.
I echo your sentiments
Says who? Is walking a right? Is riding a horse or a bike a right? Who gives us the "PRIVILEGE" to drive and can he arbitrarily deny it to anyone?
Then you’ll never visit Georgia!.......
Who’s to say that insurance companies would not require proof of ability to drive within a certain manner? This guy has it right, what would be different with all of the illegals on the road?
