The operation of a motor vehicle on public highways is a Right, that
is being circumvented by a police power requiring Licensing.


No it is not being circumvented at all. They are conjoined and work
hand in glove. This isn't circumvention and your illogical attempt to
call it that is not factual, just polemical.

Police powers may not be arbitrary or unreasonable.


Well, they can be! I've seen that happen. AT least in this case, they
are not. That line of questioning was considered, rejected and settled
many many decades ago at the highest court in the land.

Driver Licensing serves no purpose to highway safety that laws against
endangerment didn't already serve.


Wrong.

The police power requiring licenses is unreasonable.
