" Thompson v.Smith, 154 SE 579, 11 American Jurisprudence, Constitutional Law, section 329, page 1135 "The right of the Citizen to travel upon the public highways and to transport his property thereon, in the ordinary course of life and business, is a common right which he has under the right to enjoy life and liberty, to acquire and possess property, and to pursue happiness and safety. It includes the right, in so doing, to use the ordinary and usual conveyances of the day, and under the existing modes of travel, includes the right to drive a horse drawn carriage or wagon thereon or to operate an automobile thereon, for the usual and ordinary purpose of life and business." -Thompson vs. Smith, supra.;
Fhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/31 (6)Motor vehicle.— The term “motor vehicle” means every description of carriage or other contrivance propelled or drawn by mechanical power and used for commercial purposes on the highways in the transportation of passengers, passengers and property, or property or cargo. (10)Used for commercial purposes.— The term “used for commercial purposes” means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit.
Your problem is you don't understand the difference between traveling / driving and motor vehicle / automobile
I read the article. I took me 20seconds to find. Dont qoute things that ive already read. my previous comments stand

(10)Used for commercial purposes.— The term “used for commercial purposes” means the carriage of persons or property for any fare, fee, rate, charge or other consideration, or directly or indirectly in connection with any business, or other undertaking intended for profit. Now that I've shown you the legal definition of "motor vehicle" defined by the legislature as being for commercial use, what do you think the DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE is licensing lol
driving is a privilege no argument there I've already said that driving is a job description, driver is a job title, taxi driver, bus driver, cattle driver, etc, etc, the issue is traveling on the road with your private car, that does not require a license because it's a common right of the people to exercise liberty without police interference as the supreme court has already upheld
I dont know how to describe this to yoy other than stating that specific licenses used to be required to use roads. Currently You dont need a license to drive on a road, but you NEED a license to drive . This means that you cannot be told your not allowed to drive on said road(public) because you dont have the 'clearance'. Your mixing up drivers license vs a license to drive on said roads, which sounds similar but are total different Fun Fact: A license other name is permit.
Lol just admit that you fell for the cops bluff, your mom lied to you, your grandpa led to your mom, everyone wants to say I'm wrong but no one can produce anything to the contrary, please show me something, I've shown you reference from Cornell is a respectable law school, you seem to think they're rubbish, how about you look at the actual law instead of repeating what everyone thinks is common knowledge and has no basis in facts, show me the law bro, stop being a fool and show me where anyone is required to have permission to exercise a right
No one wants to spend the time to try to convince someone who is clearly incapable of understanding something obvious.
you are arguing that the supreme court is wrong, your arguing that driving is not commercial activity, you can not produce one fact, your like a parrot your so brainwashed, you have no thought that was not put there for some fraudulent reason, put your mom on the forum maybe she will show me the law of facts she relies on to require her to get a license
Need a source? Look up why highways were originally built, and the purpose they served, the requisits to use them, then look at that article which you posted, re-read it and try to understand why they say "you dont need a license to drive on a Highway". I said it repeatedly they were for private use of the military. Dumbed version : War ends, military goes down, people mad "y can't use highway?" Military say u can't use u no have license(special permit). Supreme court say military can no prevent people use this road. There. no license required to use the road, NOT "No licene required to DRIVE"
oh man by your logic all the roads are closed lol you did not read the article, there is no constitutional provision preventing use of the roads, roads were created back when everyone was using horses and buggies, and no license was required then either, then one day the car come out, everyone using cars and ripping up the roads delivering packages and cargo, so people got together and decided there should be a tax and a designation to determine who is using the road for commerce and who is not, oohhhhhhh how about we make everyone in commerce put a tag (license plate) on their car so we can tell they have paid the tax, and we will make them get a license for the privilege to use the roads for commerce, that way we can revoke their ability to do commerce of they don't follow the speed limit or rip up the roads
Laws change and get updated as technology and society evolve. Do you really want 270 million unlicensed drivers going around. Enjoy the carnage. Just look at India for the results of that type of stupidity. Then again the same constitution says you can all carry guns. Yay more death and carnage. Maybe time to remove ones head from ones ass and realise that this is not 300 years ago and times change and laws need to change to reflect this.
Honestly what you wrote made no sense. If your talking about Interstate highway system thats 1950s. Transcontinental Motor Convoy is 1919(occured on a highway) I never said highways were closed? Idk what else to say, just, Wow.
" People v. Horton 14 Cal. App. 3rd 667 (1971) “The right to make use of an automobile as a vehicle of travel long the highways of the state, is no longer an open question. The owners thereof have the same rights in the roads and streets as the drivers of horses or those riding a bicycle or traveling in some other vehicle.”
You claim that all roads are only used for military, I don't see any of that, when I look out my window all I see is people who believe they need a license to exercise liberty
Licensing for driving is done on a state level. It doesn't matter if the Supreme Court declares the country requires no license to drive if each state has laws requiring one.
