Do you believe driving is a government granted privilege and why? If not, please save your comments for the discussion?

If not, please save your comments for the discussion. It is often said that driving is a privilege and not a right, I want answers from those who agree with this premise and why. If someone feels that driving is a right I ask that they save their comments for the discussion so that I can get answers from only those who agree and see why they believe this is true.

Driving is a privilege because it can be taken away. It also has testing and requirements in order to obtain it. A right is something that people are guarenteed, not all people have a liscence.

Also the requirements vary state by state. I think of it as something like this, my child wants to go play but she hasn’t done her chores or she is in trouble for something she did. She believes playing is a right, but alas it is not.It is her privilege once she has done what she is supposed to.

That’s the same way driving is a privilege, if you do what you are supposed to and follow the rules you may get and keep it, but if you don’t follow the laws, the privilege can be revoked. A right is the entitlement to morally or legally do or refrain from doing something.(right to free speech) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/right A privilege is granted to a specific group by birth or conditional basis and may be revoked. Www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/privilege Therefor a driver’s liscense is yours if you meet the requirements, but is not guarenteed to you.

Freedom of speech is a right guarenteed to you at birth..

Privileges can be revoked. A right is something automatically granted. The Right to Free Speech for example.

A privilege is earned. In this case you must qualify for a driver's license by passing a test. If you break laws or road rules (like too many parking tickets) your license may be suspended because of your irresonsibility.

Rights are and should be much harder to strip. Unfortunately our country has developed in a fashion that makes driving a virtual necessity, but it is possible to get by without driving. And those in the truly Privileged class can just hire a driver..

Driving is a privilege, granted by the state in which you reside. There is no right granted by any constitution. People must be licensed in order to drive motorized vehicles on public (aka government owned) roadways.

The only place you can drive without a license is on your property or the property you have been granted the privilege to drive on. It is a privilege because it can be taken away by the state at any time, although usually following your choice of not following the laws of the jurisdictions in your state.

Privilege VS. Right Driving is not a right because there is nothing in the Constitution mentioning it nor do any amendments to the Constitution address it. It's a privilege because you can only drive if you meet certain requirements (passing a test).

Driving is a privilege and not a right. It may be revoked for any reason which is related to a legitimate state interest, so long as they are not arbitrary. A right, on the other hand, can only be restricted for a compelling state interest and the restriction must be narrowly tailored so that it does not go beyond that compelling state reason.

The difference in lay terms. In order to infringe upon a privilege, the state must give a reason. In order to infringe upon a right, the state must give a very, very, very good reason and grovel a bit and beg and whine..

It is a privilege. Driving is a privilege in the sense that one must demonstrate competence in order to obtain a license to drive. If you can't pass the written exam and road test for the state you live in, you cannot be issued a driver's license.

If you are not of age to be issued a driver's license, you cannot take the test. If you have physical impairments, such as poor eyesight, that preclude your ability to drive a car, you cann "Driving is a Privilege" is the premise used by state and local governments to justify the doctrine of "implied consent." In most places, this means they can yank your license if you refuse a sobriety test.

Here we have some issues. "Implied consent" once meant that the cops could pull you over at any time, for any reason they liked. Back in the early 70's, I looked like a roadie for the Grateful Dead, so I used to get pulled over all the time "to check for license and registration (and to sniff the car for pot).

" In 1973, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that this violated the due process clause of the 5th amendment; thus you could no longer be pulled over without reasonable suspicion. Subsequent decisions allowed for the use of sobriety checkpoints, possibly because of the non-selective nature of this kind of search and seizure? It's not something I understand that well, but it would seem to indicate that there are limits on what states can and cannot do vis-a-vis' your driving privileges.

It's still up to the courts to determine how far they can go. As such, even though it is a "privilege," it is still something that, once granted, cannot be taken away without due process of law. Sources: Opinion .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
