I'm the sort of person that doesn't think we need drivers licenses at all. I think the desire not to die is a fairly decent incentive to be a good driver. Legally, the very existence of them in America is a violation of federal and state constitutions. That said, I really don't care as long as I can continue to freely operate my property and I don't want to turn this thread into an argument about the legality of licensing practices, so I'm going to move on to the main thing I don't agree with here, which is mandatory testing for license renewal.

You are misunderstanding the amendment:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The federal Govt. has no authority to establish a national drivers license, but the states most certainly do, and if not th estates individuals towns could.

Noli is (conditionally) correct. If the constution fails to grant the national government the right to control road use then, unless it's specifically protected in the constitution (it is not) the states have the right.

Now, the states could limit themselves in their own constitutions: but I don't see that any have.
