This is buying into the propaganda. They want you to think this, thus they repeat it over and over to everyone in high school.

In reality, you have the right to do anything you want as long as you do not endanger others. The government cannot arbitrarily decide who can drive and who can't, by right. What they CAN do is prevent people from repeatedly endangering others...and this is exactly what the law does with respect to driver's licenses. If someone shows they are unsafe, they are taken off the road for the protection of others, not for any other reason.

We do not live in a country where every action you take, you can only take by the good graces of some bureaucrat.
