Mandatory Auto Insurance - Constitutional or Unconstitutional

They claim they can make insurance mandatory because driving is a privilege. This claim is a false claim. In fact the use of the highways is a Right.

"The use of the highways for the purpose of travel and transportation is not a mere privilege, but a common and fundamental Right of which the public and the individual cannot be rightfully deprived."

Ligare vs. Chicago, 28 NE 934;
Boon vs. Clark, 214 SSW 607;
25 Am.Jur. (1st) Highways Sect.163

"The Right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, either by horse drawn carriage or by automobile, is not a mere privilege which a city can prohibit or permit at will, but a common Right which he has under the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Thompson vs. Smith, 154 SE 579

"the right of the Citizen to travel upon the highway and to transport his property thereon in the ordinary course of life and business, differs radically and obviously from that of one who makes the highway his place of business and uses it for private gain in the running of a stagecoach or omnibus. The former is the usual and ordinary right of the Citizen, a right common to all, while the latter is special, unusual, and extraordinary."

Ex Parte Dickey, (Dickey vs. Davis), 85 SE 781

"The right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, in the ordinary course of life and business, is a common right which he has under the right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety. It includes the right, in so doing, to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day, and under the existing modes of travel, includes the right to drive a horse drawn carriage or wagon thereon or to operate an automobile thereon, for the usual and ordinary purpose of life and business."

Thompson vs. Smith, supra.;
Teche Lines vs. Danforth, Miss., 12 S.2d 784

"First, it is well established law that the highways of the state are public property, and their primary and preferred use is for private purposes, and that their use for purposes of gain is special and extraordinary which, generally at least, the legislature may prohibit or condition as it sees fit."

Driving is a privilege. Look it up.

The overseer of that privilege is the state governments, not the federal government, as it is the states that issue driver's licenses. There are exceptions, but we are talking about what is the vast norm here, not a tiny pool of "other".

A driver's license is a license to drive on public roads (you do not need one to drive on private roads). You do need one to drive on any public road.

If you drive in Pennsylvania with a driver's license from Iowa, you are good. But if you do not have a diver's license, you have broken the law. The Pennsylvania State Police will cite you, and will stop you from operating your motor vehicle any further. How you get where you are going, or back to Iowa, and how you get your vehicle there, or back to Iowa is your problem logistically and financially is your problem. And the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will expect you to pay the fine levied, and if you do not you may find your Iowa driver's license suspended.

You can certainly walk, but the state will stop you from driving (and you can not walk on a limited access highway, or interstate by the way. Why is that? Because driving is a privilege, and states license drivers to drive, and enforce their vehicle code. They also keep pedestrians off of limited access roads. Add to that, you must have insurance, and your vehicle needs to be registered with your state. Furthermore, in many states vehicles need to be inspected, whereas some states they do not. But if you do not need a hood in Ohio, or you can have window tint as dark as midnight in Florida, while operating one of those vehicles in Pennsylvania you can be cited for a violation of the motor vehicle code of Pennsylvania. Why? Because your vehicle must meet a minimum standard in the state it is being operated in.

It is actually like a concealed carry permit for a gun, a driver's license does not give you a blank check to drive whatever you like, however you like, wherever you like.
