What makes sense is that you don't understand what a "Right" is.
Under English Common Law, everything that is not explicitly forbidden or controlled by law is permitted. That, however, does *NOT* make it a Right!
You never had the right to drive a car, but up until 1935 it was not controlled by law. It now is. If you pass the test you have the privilege under law of driving a car, not the right to do so.
Clear?
