If you're learning to drive in Ontario, then this is for you. It's all here—rules of the road, safe driving practices and how to get your licence to drive a car, van or small truck.
Driving is a privilege—not a right.

Appellate courts in other provinces have all held that driving is not a right protected by s.7 of the Charter:
R. v. Neale (1986), 52 C.R. (3d) 376 (Alta C.A.);
Prince Edward Island (Registrar of Motor Vehicles) v. Rankin (1991), 30 M.V.R. (2d) 122 (P.E.I.S.C.A.D.);
Ginther v. Sask. Govt. Ins., [1988] 4 W.W.R. 738 (Sask. C.A.);
Paganelli v. Ontario (Reg. Of Motor Vehicles) (1987), 6 M.V.R. (2d) 252 (Ont. Div. Ct.);
R. v. LeClair (1990), 20 M.V.R. (2d) 47 (Man. Q.B.);
White v. Nova Scotia (Registrar of Motor Vehicles) (1996), 20 M.V.R. (3d) 192 (N.S.S.C.);
R. v. Smith (1989), 14 M.V.R. (2d) 166 (Y.C.A.)


Still haven't looked up privilege, eh.

Just another erosion of our rights by small minded power grabbers.
