What gives the government any right to impose *any* driving regulations?

The individual has a right to operate his proerty in the manner he sees fit. 
So long as he does not injure anyone else, what gives the government any right
to control this behavior.  If you say it is the threat of injury to others one
can use analogous arguements with drug use (as one can with alcohol and many
other things).  

Now you must examine the interest of the state in protecting its citizens and
balance it against the indiciduals freedom.  Different drugs will lead to
differnet conclusions.
