In Pennsylvania, the law refers to "operator's priviledges" and I believe that to be the case everywhere; it is not a "right", that is, constitutionally mandated; instead it is a well-regulated priviledge which can be suspended/revoked; you cannot revoke a right....BTW, my folks only had one car for our family of 10 children; none of us got our licenses until we BOUGHT OUR OWN cars....I didn't get mine until I was 23! I hitched rides home for the holidays with other students by using the bulletin boards at the student union; worked OK for me; I even had a girlriend who didn't drive but we managed to attend all kinds of parties, concerts, dinner dates etc. You adjust your life to the opportunities you make for yourself, not those given to you.
