Driving on American Roads is a Constitutional Right, not a State-Granted 'Privilege'
If you are traveling in your vehicle on vacation or just farting around on a joy ride. It is your right... No privilege intended.

that simply means you have the right to use the highways and byways for TRAVEL, it has nothing to do with the priviledge of driving an auto.
here's a sample state's sc ruling
Quote:
The Supreme Court of the State of Illinois ruled:
4.1 Even the legislature has no power to deny to a Citizen the "RIGHT" to travel upon the roadways and transport his property in the ordinary course of his business or pleasure, though this "RIGHT" might be regulated in accordance with the public interest and convenience. See: Chicago Motor Coach v. Chicago, 169 N.E. 22
"Regulated" here means traffic safety enforcement, stop lights, sign, etc., NOT a privilege that requires permission, i.e.; licensing, mandatory insurance, vehicle registration, etc..

cut & dry.
