Sure does, My single car is one of your "any", and therefore your statement
is false. You do not have the right to ride as a passenger in "any" vehicle.
As I stated.

Oh? And the facilities that permit and allow flight?

There you go. "Driving", in the context of on the public roadways, requires
a license, and holding a license is a privilege.

They were enough to show your statement to be false. That's all that need be
done.

No, _your_ argument has changed, from your "right" to be a "passenger" to a
"right" to be permitted  passage over a roadway.
