I'm from the side that believes if the Gov't takes some of my money in the form of taxes to provide something like roads, then I should have a RIGHT to access it. I don't think driving is a privilege. That argument might fly in countries whose infrastructure "grew up" before cars and there's good public transportation and pedestrian friendly cities. Here in the USA the country was built around the rail and the road, you just can't get most places without one of the two, so i think the movement that driving is a right is gaining momentum...though it's unlikely it will ever come to pass since the majority doesn't see it this way, but I think the point is valid.

I've read of several individuals who wanted to prove the point by attempting to walk cross country....most were ticketed and even arrested, sometimes several times. There's just no way to get anywhere, even on foot, without using the roadways.
