AWESOME! Georgia introduces bill to repeal driver license since it's unconstitutional!
[link to www.cbsatlanta.com]



ATLANTA -- A state lawmaker from Marietta is sponsoring a bill that seeks to do away with Georgia driver's licenses.

State Rep. Bobby Franklin, R-Marietta, has filed House Bill 7, calling it the "Right to Travel Act."

In his bill, Franklin states, "Free people have a common law and constitutional right to travel on the roads and highways that are provided by their government for that purpose. Licensing of drivers cannot be required of free people, because taking on the restrictions of a license requires the surrender of an inalienable right."

To some extent sure but people would still need to be assessed that they could actually drive and/or be taught to drive and pass a test.

Re: AWESOME! Georgia introduces bill to repeal driver license since it's unconstitutional!
I live not far from Marietta and Bobby Franklin is definitely a strict constitutionalist. The problem of course is getting the establishment state reps to back his bills. He may get quite a bit of support but it probably won't be enough to pass his bills.

Ummm...

No one is stopping travel on the highways and freeways. You can walk, bike, or take a bus FFS. Driver's licenses are merely indicators that the person in question is competent to operate a lethal piece of machinery. Do you really want just anyone driving a car? Your ten year old son? The drunk down the street?

First there's freaking common sense. Not to mention... do a driving license PHYSICALLY STOPS a drunk driver? NO.

Fact is, we have driver licenses now... and do drunk drivers exist? YES! Gee what a surprise!

And a drunk driver is not as dangerous as a teenager trying to prove he's manly by driving like a madman or an old 80 years old senile person driving.

It may not stop a hardcore drunk driver, but it does allow for consequences for that drunk driver, and is a guarantee of some basic level of competence. It may not solve all the problems of bad drivers, but it would be a thousand times worse without some sort of standard. Plus the guy's argument is false to begin with.

You live in canada. i live in georgia. This would be a HORRIBLE idea.

its about people's ability to drive, which people in georgia do not have, for the most part.

The same could be said of a car, but people routinely fail to operate their car correctly because of ignorance. And ignorance of operation can also cause death as well.

Just because they are more rare doesnt make them more dangerous. Less so, in fact.

So you'll happily let a new immigrant that may well be used to driving on the wrong side of the road, and perhaps not know the meanings of road signs just jump in a car and have at 'er?

Or how about a guy that's been convicted of killing someone driving drunk? Oh yeah... the police would never know because he would not have to show his license when pulled over.

This "Freeman" bullshit is completely retarded from the standpoint of actually having a livable society. That bill is going NOWHERE. No constitution in the world mentions a right to motor a motor vehicle. You are free to walk, bike, skateboard or rollerblade wherever the hell you want so no-one is infringing your precious "rights" by licensing motor vehicle operators.

This is the kind of shit haters say to make a mockery of libertarians and their positions, and here Georgia is fueling that fire.


Of all the issues of freedom to focus on...

How about stop throwing fucking weed smokers in prison and then we can maybe talk about not having to have a fucking license.
