the right to drive
so fuck off all of you 'no right to drive' assholes.The right of a citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon in the ordinary course of life and business is a common right which he has under his right to enjoy life and liberty.... It includes the right in so doing to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day; and under existing modes of travel includes the right to drive a horse-drawn carriage or wagon thereon, or to operate an automobile thereon for the usual and ordinary purposes of life and business. It is not a mere privilege, like the privilege of moving a house in the street, operating a business stand in the street, or transporting persons or property for hire along the street, which the city may permit or prohibit at will.
Thompson v. Smith, 154 S.E. 579, 1929
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

I am still just as independent as a rich person who is driven around.
Perhaps moreso, I don't have to worry about where to park the van or remembering where I parked it.

Did you Shepardize the cite to insure that it is still good law? I don't have access Shepard's here at the house, but if S.E. Reporter is the only place this appears then the right is only particular to one State in the US. Nationwide, it's still a privilege.
