Driving is a privilege — not a right
I saw this subject line in a driver's handbook. May I know what the difference between privilege and right? Or what kind of meanings the sentence would like to convey? Thanks.

You have an absolute "right" to a right. In the US, when you turn 18, you get the right to vote. I have the right to speak out against my President or my country without fear of prosecution.

In that case, I'll have to say voting is also a privilege. If you were to commit certain felonies, you also would lose your voting privileges.
