Americans must thank God they didn't have motor cars around back in the 18th century, or presumably they'd have been lumbered with a bit in the constitution about a right to drive that couldn't be infringed - and there'd be no way of having required driving tests, or laws against drunk drivers, or speed limits...

And there are people who actually believe those kinds of things when it comes to cars. The difference is they are seen as being a litle bit off their heads.
