Is it legal for the DMV to make it impossible for a 16-year-old to drive alone?

In: Rules of the Road [Recategorize]

[Edit]

Answer

Absolutely. It is an established legal principal that no one has a constitutional "right" to drive a motor vehicle. To be licensed to drive in a State, a person must meet any requirements or conditions set by the State, and the State can revoke a person's privilege to drive if those are not followed.

Answer

No. The DMV does not have lawmaking power. The legislature does. And yes, it is legal for the legislature to make it impossible for a 16-year-old to drive alone and to empower the DMV to enforce this rule.
