I am quite thankful that such road blocks are erected. They may be
somewhat prevetative in nature...much of law enforcement is
preventative in that if the chance of getting caught is high then some
choose not to commit the crime. Also, driving is NOT a right. There is
no constitutional provision...one must obtain liscence. Requiring such
a liscence gives the state the automatic authority to require that all
motor vehicle operators prove that they have a liscence and that any
conditions of a liscence are met (ie wearing glasse / contact lenses).
One must also keep their vehicle safe by adhering to certain
standards. Again, once rules are set in place then the state has
automatic authority to randomly check. The state routinely inspects
trucks for safety, bars for underage patrons, factories for
safety....etc.
