You need to check with the CA DMV if you really believe this. They will be
very quick to point out that they license you to drive your car as a
PRIVELEGE, not a right and they can decide to revoke the privelege on their
terms.

This philosophy is part of the problem with the automobile. Just remember
if driving was a RIGHT you wouldn't need a license to do it legally.
