Can you show me where the right to drive a car is Constitutionally-protected?

Also, what a shitty analogy: suicide is by definition a self-harmful act, DUI is almost always a socially-harmful act on its own.

(And in many states, you can DUI on private property, by the way.)

"59% of people who died in crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers in 2022 were the alcohol-impaired drivers themselves"[1]

Also, people who commit suicide with their firearms typically have families who suffer.
