The constitutional right to travel means you're free to go from one place to another, but not that you're free to operate potentially dangerous vehicles without a license. You can be a passenger in someone else's vehicle, or you can walk, ride a bicycle, etc. But you have no more right to drive a car without a license than to pilot an airplane.
