Sad to see people still throwing the "Driving is a privilege not a right" bullshit out there, but other than that this is a great thread.

Anyone who isn't blind or retarded can drive, until "they", prove otherwise. You really want people with multiple DUI's, or zero training, sharing the road with you? JC

See what I'm saying? Rights can be taken away under the correct circumstances too.

"A privilege is a right or advantage gained by birth, social position, effort, or concession." Key word here is effort. You make the effort to pass the driving test, you get a license. Seems fair enough. When "jackbooted thugs" start kicking in doors and revoking licenses without due process, I'll start worrying about the distinction between a right and a privilege. JC

True but that's just because they haven't gotten caught (no revenue in that, apparently)

True, but I don't think declaring that everyone has the "right" to drive, will improve the situation.

Sorry to disappoint, but for the moment, it's true.
