so it's your right to go on public roads that someone else built with an unregulated death trap while not knowing wtf you're doing? while my kids are being driven to school, for example? that's your right?You're right. It's a modern-day slave travel pass. No pass, you might get a beating.
It's also become an ipso facto "brand" and Naziesque "travel papers" for the various State plantations to identify their human cattle and differentiate them from the other plantations.
They even make you buy pieces of metal to affix to your vehicle, so they'll know which state has dibs on collecting revenue from you. They've turned your right to travel into a revokable privilege and then they sell that privilege back to you.
Some overlords. perhaps unintentionally. have a sense of humor. The State of NH has "live free or die" on every one of their license plates. If you don't have that plate on your vehicle, they make you give them money and might imprison you. Live free or die! Uh huh, sure.
