This is a fictitious legal theory advanced by sovereign citizen movements. You can find many hours of entertainment watching sovcit courtroom insanity videos on youtube, and many of them try this legal theory with entirely predictable results.

>This is a fictitious legal theory advanced by sovereign citizen movements.

I've seen videos of non-sovereign citizens that follow this legal theory being vindicated and in some cases being awarded damages by courts for rights violations.

I don't believe its validity has sufficiently been proven false to make such a claim.

If you think it is true, try it. You will quickly discover the 'find out' part of 'fuck around and find out'.

In all states, driving is a privilege and not a right. In all states as well as anywhere in the United States you are required by law to pay taxes.

In nearly all states, you are required to carry insurance for any vehicle you drive, even if for non-commercial activity.

Rather than argue otherwise, look up your state and look up driving laws. HINT: Laws are all spelled out in English for every state in the United States.

This right to drive was discussed in more detail here [0] and a pretty exhaustive list of US court decisions is available here [1]
