It hasn't (yet!) become a privilege to move from point to point. Move about as you will, but if you're going to use an automobile to do it, society has determined that there is sufficient potential for harm to others that it will regulate your use of that automobile on public roadways. Driving your own car is hardly the only way to move about. -- ...A friend of the devil is a friend of mine. Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303) 444-5710 x3086
