The right to move is absolute. Because we have decided on a system of roads instead of rails, it means automobiles.

If the state thinks I am unable to properly exercise my right to move using a car, motorcycle, or truck, the burden should be ON THEM to prove it. Conversely, I should be responsible for anything that happens (they shouldn't mandate insurance either). If they can prove it to a jury, they can get an injunction against my driving (the same way if someone uses a gun irresponsibly can be banned from owning one).

Note that acting negligently - DWI - or brandishing a gun - is enough to trigger an investigation, I don't have to hit or shoot and hit someone. That doesn't mean they are free to set low thresholds.

Right now, if they think you are late with child support, you haven't paid some other levy, or for any of dozens of other whims TOTALLY UNRELATED TO DRIVING they can "suspend" your license.
