That certainly was an argument at the time... you know... the "What right does the government have to require me to wear a seatbelt" argument.  I guess the best argument against THAT argument is driving a motor vehicle is NOT a right.

Well, you've got me there.  Driving is considered a privilege and not a right.  When does a "privilege" become a "right"? 

I suppose I could argue that I have the right to liberty and due process and protection against unreasonable search.
 
I still don't understand why the laws we have on the books aren't sufficient to handle this problem.
