Fabs, What is the legal difference between a right and a priviledge? Owning a house isn't a priviledge. If I have the money, I'm owning a house. I do have the right not to freeze to death.
Yep, 40,000+ people die every year, year in and year out, in car crashes. Why stop at a 10% reduction in deaths? Set a speed limit of 5mph. Why not do away with cars altogether? Think of how many lives that would save. Sort of like getting rid of a ll the guns, how many lives would that save? See how it goes down that slope?
Your sister might live 2 miles from work, but most people do not. It would be impractical for the vast majority of people to get to work any other way.
My point wasn't that a person should never get their license taken away. Heck, voting is a right and you can screw up bad enough to have that taken away. My point is that they can take your license for little things and things that aren't associated with driving.
The only time that driving is a right is when you reach 65. Then the jerks at penndot won't take your license not matter how bad you drive.
