Is a driver who has been found guilty of a charge of careless driving has a right to drive?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Spitze v. Zolin, 48 Cal.App.4th 1920, 56 Cal.Rptr.2d 573 (Cal. App. 1996):

On the other hand, driving "has always been respected by our courts as having great practical importance, although it has never been given the constitutional status of a 'fundamental right' for due process or equal protection purposes." (Snelgrove v. Department of Motor Vehicles (1987) 194 Cal.App.3d 1364, 1376, 240 Cal.Rptr. 281.) Thus, a driver threatened with suspension of his or her driving privilege has a considerable interest in a timely resolution of the controversy and possible exoneration.
