Where in the world did those politicians get the idea that driving a car
down the road was a "privlege"? Did we the people tell them on a national
or a state-by-state basis that we wanted the state regulating who-all could
hop in their car and drive away? It certainly wasn't something that the state
bothered with back in the horse-and-buggy days.
Now I know that all of you are going to flame me about drunk drivers (some sort
of public punishment/humiliation seems to be indicated here) or people who just
plain don't know how to drive a car, but are any of these taken care of today?
No way! If J. Random Drunk Driver wants to drive somewhere, he hops in his
car and drives away in it - license or not.
Face it - this is yet another way for the state to cause you unnecessary hassles
and grief.

ps. I might as well say that I want all the 55'ers to get in their cars and
drive 3500 miles across the north american continent and do it at 55 and not
fall asleep somewhere in Iowa or in the middle of the salt flats in Utah.
