Freedom to drive as fast as i want on a back road to use a car to express yourself
Freedom to enjoy the operating of MY car and MY cellphone both at the same time
Freedom to use my car creatively. Such as drive in reverse at 60 miles per hour instead of always forward driving. My car will allow me to drive as fast as I want in reverse but this freedom is denied.
Freedom to swerve in and out of my lane as a form of freedom of expression, or as part of a religious ritual that should be protected under first amendment freedom of religion if I believe swerving into other lanes cleanses evil spirits under my religious beliefs that I wish to practice
A lot of freedom of expression crushed when it comes to cars
Freedom to use additional lighting for my car besides headlights such as rainbow lights or purple lights
Freedom to drive in an HOV lane without another passenger in the car if I imagine there's another passenger in the car. That's not allowing me freedom of imagination .
Instead, freedom to determine my own level of road safety based on track record of accidents I have caused
Because driving at high speeds can be extremely dangerous to life and property that are not your own.
Much like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater doesn't fall under the definition of free speech, because you are purposely putting peoples lives in danger.
Now I drive fast on backroads, especially in my home area that I know so well. That doesn't mean I have accidents, it doesn't mean I'm dangerous. Does the speed limit on limited access need to be raised to 90? Yes, in my opinion it does, but this isn't a first amendment issue.

You absoluly have that right....so long as the road you are driving on belongs to you.
The car you own, can be drivin by you at whatever speed you want, so long as you are not on a road that is owned by the public trust.
Go forth and build a road.... then you too can say "I built that!"
When you crash and burn someone has to pick up the body parts you leave behind. While in the process of cleaning up after you, they have to either close the road, or a lane or two. This in turn inconveniences others who desire to use the road. You're part of a society in which rules are applied to protect others in the society.
