Driving: A right or a privilege?

in news •  2 years ago 

"The requirement of drivers' license to legally operate a private vehicle is unconstitutional"
http://www.thematrixhasyou.org/affidavit-driving.html

"Free people have a common law and constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways that are provided by their government for that purpose. Licensing of drivers cannot be required of free people because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of an inalienable right"

"The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, by horsedrawn carriage, wagon, or automobile, is not a mere privilege which may be permitted or prohibited at will, but a common right which he has under his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

"The forgotten legal maxim is that free people have a right to travel on the roads which are provided by their servants for that purpose, using ordinary transportation of the day. Licensing cannot be required of free people, because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of a right. The driver's license can be required of people who use the highways for trade, commerce, or hire; that is, if they earn their living on the road, and if they use extraordinary machines on the roads. If you are not using the highways for profit, you cannot be required to have a driver's license."

"There is no basis for the view that requiring a driver's license is unconstitutional.

First, it's critical to realize that a right to travel has nothing whatsoever to do with licensing drivers. A right to travel does not in any way mean there's a right to travel in a particular way. Likewise, using a car does not mean you're traveling"

"On the road, sovereign thought is expressed as the "right to travel." In this, acolytes believe that people don't need driver's licenses, license plates, vehicle registrations, or insurance to traverse the country's highways. To reach this conclusion, sovereigns often draw a distinction between being able "to drive," which they say is the privilege of using a vehicle to conduct commercial activity, and being able "to travel," which they assert is a right inherent in the Constitution."

"If the Constitution for the United States of America and its Supreme Court decisions state you have the right to travel freely throughout the United States without the need or encumbrance of a “Driver’s License:” Then, NO state law can overrule or contradict that law and those decisions."

U.S. Supreme Court says No License Necessary To Drive Automobile On Public Highways/Streets
https://i-uv.com/u-s-supreme-court-says-no-license-necessary-to-drive-automobile-on-public-highwaysstreets/

"the Constitution says says nothing about the 'right to travel'. Recommend you actually read the Constitution.

In fact the word 'travel' is not even in the Constitution--anywhere. The only reference to a 'Road" in the Constitution is related to Congress' power to establish postal roads.

The SUPREME COURT (not the Constitution) has interpreted the privileges and immunities clause of the constitution as conferring a "right to interstate travel".

The same court has frequently ruled that state issued drivers license requirements, insurance requirements etc. do NOT offend the Constitution."

"Driver’s license is for DRIVING, which is a COMMERCIAL activity. And the use of a car purchased with lawful money, which is NOT for profit, is NOT commercial activity, and thusly does NOT require any license."

"Driving an automobile is a privilege, not a right, according to the prevailing laws of every jurisdiction of the United States. However, this was not always the case. When automobiles were first introduced around the turn of the twentieth century, drivers relied on common law traditions that protected the right of every person to travel upon public roadways without a license. Courts repeatedly wrote of an individual's "right to travel" by automobile and struck down regulations aimed at limiting the liberties of automobile drivers on constitutional grounds. With the passage of time, however, automobile regulators generally prevailed in legislative halls and courtrooms. Today, the public has accepted a degree of travel regulation which would have seemed almost tyrannical to nineteenth century Americans"

"You are the Traveler, unless you are doing commerce, you are not a driver. It seems miniscule, however it is the truth of fact. Words are very important as that is what Jurisdiciton is - 'right words'."

"Driving is a COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY and the license instrument is for DRIVERS ONLY -- for commerce, going to the store, to visit a friend, etc., IS NOT COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY."
