driving is a privilege not a right

Sorry here, but driving is a right! That is guranteed in the "Declaration of Independence", or are you familiar with that document? This understood right was not placed directly into the constitution because it was fully understood by all who wrote the constitution at that time that this and other "unalienable" rights were guaranteed to us by the creator(God).
No it's not a right. You show me anywhere in the declaration where it says it is your right to drive a car or truck? If it's your right, why do you require a license and testing? Why do you require insurance on your vehicle?
Get yourself educated man, your ignorance is showing. You are wrong. Period. Now look it up and become enlightened to your folly.
Wrong.
Like I stated in my previous post, Americans have the right to travel. Period. The problem comes from the fact that most of us do not actually own our automobiles...
Every new vehicle made is issued a document called "The Manufacturer's Statement of Origin" or "MSO." The MSO is the "allodial title" of a vehicle, whoever possesses the MSO is the lawful owner of the automobile.
Most of us do not buy our automobiles outright and we have to go through a bank with loans. Once we do the MSO goes to the State, and the State is the lawful owner of "our" vehicles.
Since the State owns your vehicle they want to know who is using THEIR property. Hence Licensing, not to mention that annual registration comes with a fee which is a "rent/tax" for using someone else's property.
And mandatory insurance is to protect State property.
Now please answer a question for me. If I purchase a car outright with cash and I demand the MSO and receive it, thereby the car belonging SOLELY to me...and I have the RIGHT to travel. Why in the world would I have to register MY PROPERTY with the State? Let alone pay a registration fee for owning my property? The whole concept sounds like Socialism...
So maybe it is you who needs to get educated.
There is a difference between having an actual title and a CERTIFICATE OF TITLE...
One simply represents the other.
If you have a Gift Certificate do you have the "gift" or a piece of paper that represents the gift?
Exactly.
