To the converse, I put seat belts in some of my cars in the 60s that did not have them OEM and there were no legal requirements. Why? Because I drove like a fool and liked being strapped in, while I drank my sixpack and cruised.
Now? No, I will not wear one. Don't worry, I don't drink anymore. I only stick a belt on when I see a State Trooper staring my way.
"Right" and "privilege" are both made up words. In fact, any "right" will take away other "rights" so all is a trade off. In fairness, our rights need control where they meet other people's rights and conflict. I.e. my right to punch you in the nose, takes away your right NOT TO GET PUNCHED, etc. &c.
Driving a car even on a public road certainly was considered a right at first. Then cars got common, people got hurt, and things changed. I've got no problem with that, it's a good thing. But, I find the use of the word "privilege" silly. Is walking the streets free and not living in jail a right of freedom? When someone gets found guilty of a crime and is sent to jail, has their "right" of freedom been taken away, or their "privilege?" You might argue that privileges are earned and rights are intrinsic but revokeable? So, what happened to the "right to bear arms?" The "right" of property ownership? We no longer own property, when we can lose it by not paying taxes forced on us. I'll stop, but we certainly don't see things the same way.
