Not a lie, an agreement between the state and a citizen. You wish to drive on public roads, paid for by taxes, then you agree to abide by specific restrictions, constraints, and guidelines. If not, walk.
Let’s say government tells us it’s against the law to eat meat. That would supposedly be an agreement between society and each individual. If one individual decides that it is his right to eat meat and has a steak for dinner, he will have to suffer the consequences of the law.
If everyone decides to have a steak for dinner, then it is apparent that there is no real agreement that it is wrong to eat meat, and the law becomes moot.
Laws are only valid when people accept them.
On the other hand, people who don’t know how to drive can create a lot of havoc on a freeway and a driver’s license is not that big of an imposition, so I like most people, accept it.
I also think that a driver’s license probably technically violates the constitutionally enumerated right to free movement.
