The right to travel is a very ancient right, from a time when people only walked, rode horses, or used draft animals to travel. The introduction of mechanical vehicles in the late 19th century changed things.

Especially, motor vehicles are so uniquely hazardous to their operators, passengers, and bystanders than operating them quickly became a privilege, not a right. http://www.bicyclelaw.com/road-rights/a.cfm/road-rights-cycl...

I did say that "my personal belief" is that it is my right?

Not sure what your point is since I'm not going to disagree that from the perspective of the law it is not my right.
