See what I'm saying? Rights can be taken away under the correct circumstances too.

Actually, no, I don't.
"A privilege is a right or advantage gained by birth, social position,
effort, or concession."
Key word here is effort. You make the effort to pass the driving test, you get a license. Seems fair enough.
When "jackbooted thugs" start kicking in doors and revoking licenses without due process, I'll start worrying about the distinction between a right and a privilege.
