Driver's Licenses
An example of knowing the law.

By presenting the following information, we are not implying that there is anything “illegal” or otherwise “wrong” with the Corp. States requiring driver’s licenses.  We are simply showing the law and lawful alternatives.

• Anyone can pick up the Colorado Revised Statutes and look in the "Uniform Motor Vehicle Law" (C.R.S. Title 42) and find a code at, C.R.S. 42-2-101, that says: “Licenses for drivers required. (1)  Except as otherwise provided in part 5 of this article for commercial drivers, no person shall drive any motor vehicle upon the highway in this state unless such person has been issued a currently valid driver’s, minor driver’s, or provisional driver’s license or an instruction permit by the department under this article.”
• But even the enforcing police officers within the state are rarely aware of the code that immediately follows that code, C.R.S. 42-2-102.(c), which states in part: “A nonresident who is at least sixteen years of age and whose state or country of residence does not require the licensing of drivers may operate a motor vehicle as a driver”, which plainly recognizes viable exceptions to the rule.
• Those that have begun to study the law will also realize that some the words used in these sections are specifically defined to have unique meanings within this “code”. To understand the code you have to look up the definitions. Specific definitions are included for: department, driver, highway, motor vehicle, nonresident, person, state and vehicle; which definitions also include words that are otherwise defined contrary to their common usage—some of those words’ definitions are even controlled by limitation from other state and or federal codes. These definitions entirely change the perceived effect of the apparent absolute limitation generated by the statute at C.R.S. 42-2-101.
• Regardless of all of that, if we go back to the Colorado State Enabling Act, we find at § 4.: “…said convention is hereby authorized to form a constitution and state government for said territory; provided, that the constitution shall be republican in form, … ,and not be repugnant to the constitution of the United States and the principles of the declaration of independence”.
• The most important principle of the Declaration of Independence and respectively of the Constitution is, Liberty.  Liberty, respective to this subject, is defined as: “The right to, without government interference, take your private property and come and go as you please on the open public and private land, highways, byways, waterways, lakes, rivers and streams anywhere within or without this or any other State.”
• Therefore the state’s Enabling Act’s provision limiting the state from granting itself any authority repugnant to those principles limits it from directly making any sort of mandatory requirement that limits Liberty; like Driver’s Licenses, registration and proof of insurance.
• In fact, the state did not make any such direct mandatory limitation.  They formed the Corp. State and when people voluntarily and privately contract with the Corp. State for the privileges of the motor vehicle title insurance (Certificate of Title) that contract binds its terms in Admiralty Law giving the Corp. State the ability to lawfully require registration and respectfully the Driver’s License.

The proof of these elements are the laws themselves and the fact that people can properly secure (with the state) their rights to lawfully own property and drive cars with no Driver’s Licenses and no state registration or title insurance for their cars.  The necessity for Driver’s Licenses is bound to private contracts with the Corporate State, which contracts are voluntary.  The belief in the necessity of such contracts obviously comes from biased education — not from the law.
