Sorry this is late. I am taking defensive driving today. Boo. So today's question is do you think being able to drive is a right or a privilege?

A privilege. You earn it and can lose it just the same.

Privilege for sure!

ericaandtom2012 · August 2012

Definitely a privilege. It's a lot of responsibility and there is a lot of risk involved. If you don't act responsibly while operating a vehicle, that privilege should be taken away.

If/when I have kids, they will not automatically get their license as soon as they are eligible age-wise, they will have to earn it with good grades and showing responsibility and good judgement.

Definitely a privledge

A privilege, if you can't be safe you shouldn't be out there.

Definitely a priviledge. And, honestly, one that should be harder to obtain and just as hard to renew. There are way too many inadequate drivers out there, or drivers with conditions that are not disclosed and could be seriously dangerous on the road. Add into that all the distractions that modern technology brings into it, and driving is seriously compromised.

A privilege for sure!

I agree that it is a privilege. A privilege that way to many people take for my granted in my opinion.

CFM102012 · August 2012

Definitely a privilege which can and should be revoked when law enforcement deems that necessary

Privelege. As someone who doesn't drive and has no desire to, I know the pros and cons of not having a vehicle. Yet I survive, my days just take a bit more planning and organization to get around.

Privilage.

islandmonkey8 · August 2012

I'm going along with the crowd - priveledge. I have 3 grandparents (88-92 years old) and they all understand this too and have stopped driving because they understand that they are not as "sharp" as they used to be and the risk involved with them driving when they can't react/see as well as they used to.

Privelege. At 25 years old I just got my first drivers license and I don't have it because it's my "right" but because I worked hard to earn it and I could get it taken away easily if I didnt use it with caution. Also I have a young child so every time I get in the vehicle I take that into count, I just wish others would too.

Absolute privilige.

jenny&will2014 · August 2012

privilege! no doubt about it IMO!

mbuckley85 · August 2012

Definitely a privilege. More people should have theirs taken away!

pengy16 · August 2012

privilege. but if I was a cop I would be stripping a lot of people of their licenses if I could! There are sooo many bad drivers out there who do not seem to be concerned for people or cars around them.

fishinflagrl · August 2012

Definitely a privelege. I think you should be able to earn it and if you deserve to lose it, then you should have known better. My grandmother is over 85 and a few years ago decided she was unable to drive anymore. Well, not unable...but figured she should have someone shuttle her around. I think it was b/c she wanted to spend more time with me and her kids, but it was a good idea. LOL

Most definitely a privelege. Sometimes when i'm out on the road I wonder how some others obtained their license, my FI claims they got theirs out of a crackerjack box.
