Short answer: no.

Long answer: yes, but only as a matter of categorizing harms, and facilitating safe behavior.

Motor vehicle codes should be a matter of categorized harms, which can include “reckless endangerment” (actions likely to cause harm, punishable even if they haven’t).

Insofar as some rules may be a practical necessity, I may grudgingly concede a few regulations...

I’d have to contemplate general “rules of the road” (stay right, stop at stop signs, etc) which should be applied solely to facilitate order (so people don’t have to wrestle with minutiae constantly).

Driver training should be considered a standard part of education. No licensing needed. (So should basic gun safety & use. So should using a press etc.)

Vehicle registration should be nothing more than applying a license plate for identification, as many are indistinguishable and offenders can otherwise so easily vanish.

Safety regulations may have a place - though more as a matter of rating safety than requiring it. (A society that tolerates motorcycles obviously doesn’t really care that much about safety.) I’m all for government providing standards just so everyone objectively knows what others are talking about, and for certifying those who rate compliance with those standards.

Basically: if you put a vehicle on the road, and can drive without harmful incident, go ahead.

You have signed on to the establishment. They always start, sounding reasonable. But after a little while, you end up with fascism and oppression.

NIP IT IN THE BUD.

Refuse ANY rules related to driving!

Is there anything that would preclude a state from doing exactly that? Probably not.
