Or public toilets...or parks...ad nauseum.

Agreed. There is some inconsistency. But I do still feel that people have the right to drive. Some people dont. Someone made a statement along the lines of "you dont have the right to drive" which I dont feel is correct. All states have different rules for it. But nowhere does it say that you dont have the right to drive. The issue apparently boils down to licensing to some people, and in the end thats probably the crux of the matter.

Here is what I consider the key: The state (public) DOES have a valid interest in making the roads safe, however, they do not have legitimacy in doing whatever is neccessary to accomplish that goal.

Driver licensing is 'guilt of being unsafe' without the required proof.

To 'show that' -- what do you think would be the states attitude if I said "OK, license me, but for ID I will only submit the print of my big toe".
