Default Driver Licensing NOT about highway safety

That, dear friend IS WHAT MAKES them linked.


Linked by decision, but not inseparable by nature.


Without the imposition of this police power upon our Right "to
operate a motor vehicle on public highways", Licensing would
be nonexistent and not an issue.


So what?


So, without the decision to impose this police power upon our Right
"to operate a motor vehicle on public highways", Licensing would be
nonexistent, and not an issue, because it is not the nature of the
Right which requires the Licensing, but instead the decision to impose
this police power. The nature of the Right, without this imposition
of police power, is that we have the Right "to operate a motor vehicle
on public highways".


And to that point, the courts recognize a definite
limitation upon the implementation of police powers:


Under the broad authority of the police power, a state legislature may
enact laws concerning the health, safety, and welfare of the people so
long as the regulations are not arbitrary or unreasonable." - State of
Idaho v. Mark Wilder (2003) -http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data2/idahostatecases/app/1033/wilder.pdf


Irrelevant


Law is irrelevant? Which Laws? The one's you love so dearly? Or the
one's that threaten the continuance of those Laws you love so dearly?


Therefore, upon demonstration that said police power is indeed
arbitrary or unreasonable, the revocation of said police power must
rightfully be forthcoming, along with the revocation of any
requirement of Licensing.


No, you're wrong.


Ah! Never mind answering my previous question. You answered it
here. The Laws that are Irrelevant to you are those Laws which
threaten the continuance of other Laws you love so dearly.


And, indeed, Driver Licensing IS unreasonable due to it's redundant
and unnecessary nature.


That is not a qualifier on which to declare something arbitrary or
unreasonable. Just because you think you have another way to get
to a goal doesn't mean ALL other ways are invalid.


Unnecessary laws are indeed unreasonable.

You lose.
