In my state, you don't need a license, technically. If the police stop you for any reason, they only require you to have 2 out of 3 documents: car registration, license, proof of insurance. If you can show the other two, you don't need to show your license. I've left my license at home before, accidentally, been stopped, and the police said it wasn't a problem.
I would be interested in hearing the opinion of some people who actually have some education in law on the points made by this brief and if they have as much validity as they seem to.
I cannot find any evidence that a license was required for travel by motor vehicle anywhere in America prior to 1913.
Quite a few things have changed since 1913.
Anyone today wanting to drive w/o a license is free to do so until they're caught. At that point, they're welcome to use the "but a license wasn't required 100 years ago" defense. It would be intriguing to know how well that would go over. My prediction: not too well.
It looks like some of that ridiculous sovereign citizen junk to me and is just as bogus.
Precisely, and part of the recently trendy "Me first" philosophy that is polluting society. "I don't like the idea of living in society with others according to reasonable rules arrived at through cooperative action, that recognize the rights of others as much as my own, so I'll spew a bunch of nonsense that says I can do whatever I want and everyone else has to array themselves around what I want." They're trying to regress society so as to make the self-centeredness of the "Me Generation" legitimate.

8500 words, 24 pages and you don't have the energy to highlight anything? This place is really getting lazy.

You don't need a license to TRAVEL by motor vehicle, but for you DO need one to OPERATE one.
The requirement for a license to operate, comes by way of need to ensure the public safety, by verification, and validation of your knowledge of traffic signs, traffic laws, and rules of the road. Without a specified right of way, and knowledge of it, think of how many more accidents we would have. Can a person SEE the signs, and do they KNOW what they mean? That's pretty important also.
Prior to 1913, we didn't have vehicles capable of moving at the speeds we do now, including, weight and size, and the ability to as much damage as they do now.
Last, but not least, if one wants to challenge a law as constitutional, such as one that requires a license to operate and or drive a motorized vehicle on public streets, it SHOULD be done prior to breaking the law, and sometime with the 100 years we have been enforcing that selfsame law.

Yes, you do no matter what nonsense some wacky website spews.
I hope the cops find and arrest the criminals who are going around on public roads without a license.
You need that license to cash a check, get a library card, vote, go to the doctor. Point being it's the only photo ID some of us have.
