Driving is a privilege by the rules of the local road and is not a right.

If you have private land like a ranch you could drive with far less restriction. You can be ten and maybe drive.

I was driving an 80,000 lb. grain truck (loaded) when I was 9 years old.

I'm thinking that this obsession of yours to enslave us all and make us subject to random searches and seizures is rooted in fear, anger, frustration, or a desire for vengeance.

Which is it?

You bought that fiction without ever actually giving it any real thought, didn't you?

If we have the right to travel freely (which we do), then in a world where driving is the only truly practical means of transport driving would HAVE to also be a right.

You can "lose" a right for gross abuse, if convicted of a pertinent crime, but you are born with all your rights intact.
