"Well, I dont recall the Constitution guaranteeing the right to drive and talk on the phone at the same time"

Let me refresh your memory.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, SHALL NOT be construed to DENY OR DISPARAGE others (rights) retained by the people."

You and I and all of the U.S. citizens have so many rights, retained by the people, to try list and/or mention them would be impossible.

James Madison new that and that is why this amendment was enacted over 227 years ago.

"I'll bet you would be a better citizen if you were familiar and profficent with the application and meaning of the Bill of Rights."

Isn't driving still a privilege and not a right, or has it changed?
