Would you abolish driving tests, then?  Let everybody who can reach the
pedals drive a car?   I would hate to be on the roads in your state
should that ever come into force...   

All laws are an invasion of personal freedom, but most are necessary to
ensure public freedom.   "I killed him and it's an invasion of my
personal freedom to prevent me from doing so..."

Do you mean driving is a US constitutional right?  If so, why does it
need to be protected by an international treatise?  Do you not trust
your own constitution to have that power?

The right to become a doctor, I would imagine, is protected by your
"constitution" as well, but I'm pretty sure I'd want some kind of rules
ensuring the competency of potential doctors, just as I want laws
ensuring the competency of potential drivers...

Before you make any more silly sounds, quote Mein Kampf or call me a
conservative pig-dog, actually read what I've written and try to answer
it intelligibly...
