The same reason the ACLU challenges the no-fly list also serves to challenge driver's licenses, and actually exposes that we are accepting very strong prior restraint on the right to travel. You can keep people from driving, but not proactively.

Some other arguments though, yes, they go too far.

I'm not even saying Libertarians are wrong about drivers licenses, just that they're idiosyncratic and unpopular on that issue, and it's worth knowing what you're getting yourself into if you take their word for everything. I think Reason is generally pretty sane! (But they were idiosyncratic and unpopular on the opiate crisis, by way of example.)

I didn't say anything about "who will pave the roads", you did. But I mean, there's a reason that keeps coming up! Regarding seizing the means of production: see my previous comment, where I said that is indeed an ideology you'd want to be aware of.
