This came about from a Facebook discussion with a friend about gun control actually (as far whether a right can be regulated in any way).
The idea is that since traveling is a right and driving is a common mode of travel driving itself becomes a right, the below links contain a collection of SCOTUS and local court rulings that support that idea.

This being the case it raises an interesting idea, driver testing, safety/emissions checks, equipment requirements for road legality of a vehicle and mandatory insurance are essentially all unconstitutional. It also makes speed limits essentially un-enforceable aside from fines as the main enforcement system is based on demerit points that can deprive one of a license.
The anarchist in me really likes that idea but the not completely insane human being thinks it's a little silly.
