"and must set limits"? Oh really? I agree with the "may" but why "must"? The "state" is not a monlithic entity, it is the people. [We're talking theory here, not reality]. So in your opinion, how does wearing a seat belt relate to the use of the roads? It has nothing to do with road safety: doesn't regulate speed, doesn't stop reckless endangerment of others. All it does is allow the state into the vehicle. The law changes the relationship with the state from regulating the driver's behavior vis a vis other drivers; instead it becomes paternalistic insisting that only the state can determine what is acceptable. That does not apply to other situations in driving that I can think of.

How dare the state set limits on how the vehicle is operated. things like speed limts and lane restrictiosn are unConstitutional infringements on my God-given right to act however I please! As long as I don't hit anyone or run them off the road, what business is it of the State how I operate my vehicle?

You people do realise you read like a bunch of spoiled five year olds, right?
