Oxycodone users denied driving rights

Click on this link to read a Tampa Bay Times story (12-29-11) about a Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge who is taking away driving rights from anyone who tests positive for Oxycodone--even if they have a legal prescription. The judge takes the warning on the bottle about driving heavy machinery--they shouldn't be doing it.  Do you think his actions will make the highways safer, or is he denying law-abiding citizens a basic right?  Is driving a "right" or a "privilege"?  Are individuals taking Oxycodone and driving indeed law-abiding citizens, or are they driving while under the influence?  How seriously should we take the warnings on prescription bottles?
