Georgia state Rep. Bobby Franklin, R-Marietta, has introduced a
bill that would do away with drivers' licenses, arguing that they “are a throw back to oppressive times.”
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."
Well, we bicyclists have been saying all along that we have a right to travel on the road.
