I agree with you that taking away someone's driving privileges in many cases can be impinging on their human right to travel freely. And you are kinda right that generally human rights should not be violated.
But one human right can always be violated to preserve another human right [1]. In this case, a person X's human right to travel freely is balanced by everyone else's human right to travel freely (or particularly the subright to be able to travel without risk of bodily harm).
The latter is why we have licenses for driving. If someone does not respect other people's human rights then their human right can be taken away.
I would however, oppose, taking away someone's license for lesser reasons than other people's human rights. For instance, I would support poor people not having to pay license fees.
[1] In fact, a huge part of law is how we balance each human right against other human rights.
