Can we assume the OP has had their license revoked (again)
I have never had my license revoked.ALOT of people do drive without a valid license & thats wrong.I just hate the greedyness of the ca dmv & politician law makers.
In the higher level law courses I took in college, all of our professors (some were former judges who are very conservative) engraved the "right to travel" into our brains. It was even in the textbooks we used. I don't really agree with it, but there were many cases where the Supreme Court ruled that U.S. citizens do have a right to drive.
I'm not really up for debate on it since I personally think driving should be a privilege...I don't want some kook on the road. Cars are weapons.
Anyway this should probably be in the Politics and Other Controversies forum.
My recollection of the "right to travel" in constitutional law was that states could not place a residency duration requirement on the ability to collect welfare. Meaning you could move to a new state, and collect welfare that day, rather than having to wait 90 days or whatever. Seems it doesn't apply to instate tuition however.
Isn't there something in the Constitution about "all other rights not enumerated herein?
There can be a "right to Travel" but the travel does not have to include a license to drive a car. A person can exercise his travel right by walking to the nearest bus station and buying a ticket.
This country, and several others, tried private roads in the past. Most owners would not build a road unless the government gave them a monopoly. Once they had the monopoly they somehow didn't bother to maintain any part of the road but the toll stations. We replaced private roads with public roads because they worked better for everyone. In any case no business man would build a road along a river unless he knew he would have the only road and not be competing with another private road on the other side. Same reasoning applies to canals and railroads.
What does travelling have to do with driving exactly? Are people suggesting that an automobile is the only means of transportation? Get off your lazy a$$ and peddle a bike if you need to get around town. Otherwise, take a train, plane, cab, boat, horse and buggy, whatever.
You have the right to WALK to anywhere you want.
If it envolves a motor vechicle then NO.
Or you have the right to BIKE anywhere you want.
Unless you can get somewhere without using a road and can drive over open spaces with your truck I think your screwed.
You do have a right to travel, you can walk, ride a bike, take the bus etc. You don't however have a right to a drivers license. That is a privileged.
