It is privilege to drive - Not a right .
Privileges are separate from rights as they are not bequeathed to individuals outside a select group or individual appointment.
In essence we could call all rights privileges relative to those not afforded to others outside our nation. But privileges cannot be considered rights thus the relative factor of common application benchmarks a right and when only practiced by select group or individual is denoted as privilege. Executive privilege, the privilege to withhold evidence. Native privileges etc. Please do not confuse relative application of the term with this nations long standing tradition of rights.
