Quoted:
Is driving a right or privilege well maybe both sides are partly correct. Lets look at it this way, there is no right to either own or drive a Motor Vehicle any more then there is a right to own a Color TV or Stereo if they are all luxury items or can be considered not necessary for daily life. When Cars were first available they were owned mostly by the rich who used them as status symbols since they were not very reliable and horses where still the normal mode of local transport. So at that time there was no right to have and use them. But as cars and trucks became more common they started to become an important part of our life. They in fact changed the way we lived and where we lived, we no longer had to live near where we worked and shopped. We could live out in the country and work in the city, yes we would have to drive to work maybe drive for over an hour just to get to our job but we could do it if we wished. And because we chose to live where there were no stores to buy our groceries we had to drive to buy our food and everything else we needed to live. But this is now how most of the people who do not live in the city live, and even they sometimes work in a different city then they live in. A car or truck is now a very real part of how we live, and since in most cases public transportation is not available not having a car is not only a big hardship but can not only force you to move to the city but can cause you to lose your job. And as to the effect on your job, some jobs require you to have your own car or truck, like if you are in the construction trades like a Structural Iron Worker you sometimes work where there are no busses or other public transportation and you may need to carry some of your tools and equipment with you. Which you can not do using public transportation.  

So is driving a right or privilege, the was I look at it, if traveling to work is a right, if going to the store to buy groceries is a right, if living your life as a free person who can chose where and how to live is a right, then having and driving a car or truck is a Right. We have become conditioned by big business and our government to live any place we want because we have a car and are no longer limited by how far we can walk or ride our horse. So driving is now a right since it is now something that is a necessity and is no longer a luxury.

As a last thought how would everyone who thinks it is a privilege, get to work and live their lives if they were denied the use of their vehicle and tell the rest of us that not having vehicle would not have a major negative impact on your and your family's life.
