QUESTION
How do I nullify my contract (license) with the DMV?
Asked on Dec 12th, 2012 on Criminal Law - Texas
More details to this question:
I have seen this question before with regards to "adhesion". One response was simply "Turn in your license and give up your right to drive". I am looking to nullify a contract that I feel I was coerced into. According to multiple supreme court decisions, one does not have to obtain a license to drive. One such case is "Chicago Motor Coach v. Chicago, 169 NE 221" in which the court decided that "The use of the highway for the purpose of travel and transportation is not a mere privilege, but a common fundamental right of which the public and individuals cannot rightfully be deprived." Please disregard the category chosen as Civil is not an option.

You are undertaking a difficult and expensive journey, and as much as you believe you are correct the authorities will disagree and fight you. Please also consider that almost every automobile insurance requires covered drivers be "licensed" and will deny coverage to those who are not (and that private contractual provision will be upheld by the law). I would find another way to express your rightful and clearly strong disagreement with the present evolution of the United States society and its apparent future direction.

You can use the highways to travel. You just can't drive on the highways without a valid license.

Consult with a local attorney about this. That case is not a Florida case, and the courts in Florida consider a license to be a privilege, not a right.

Don't believe you have a "contract" with the DMV. But, whether you do or don't, just give up your driver's license and quit driving that way you can begin taking the bus, riding your bicycle or walking to wherever you need to go also, that way when you get stopped in case you drive your car you will still just get a ticket for whatever offense you committed and then an extra one for driving without a license will have to pay a little bit extra but hey at least you showed them! But, if they somehow coerced you into applying for a drivers license and made you take the driving test and the written test than you can probably claim that they caused you mental anguish and a bunch of other damages, for which you can sue them! Oh by the way driving in Texas is considered a "privilege" versus a " right" don't take me wrong, not trying to be sarcastic but why would you want to "nullify a contract" to have a drivers license canceled considering the consequences of getting caught driving without a license.
