There are literally hundreds of Court decisions in the 1800s that declared (many citing the 5th Amendment) all person have a right to use public roads. The 1st Edition of "Amercian Jurisprudence, cited above, acknowledged such a right and included the term "automobile." So in your declaration of driving as a priveledge, you have accepted the government assertion of control over you and accepted that the government has granted you this priveledge when in fact it was a "Right" removed from Americans by the Government.

See how these things get started. People don't research, inquire or know history.
I always thought it was a crock that the " conventional wisdom" said that it was a privilege to drive a car. Moving freely about the country regardless of the means of conveyance has always been our birthright. Thank you for doing that research proving that we have been losing our rights for quite some time.
