I wonder how many fatalities these non-readers of law have caused? Sure a lot more than the guns from law-abiding citizens.

Omfg are they going to fight this one.
They don’t even force WELFARE RECIPIENTS to learn English, you think they’re going to stop panjeet truck drivers?!?! GTFO… Honestly. If you haven’t figured out yet its all just a show to keep you distracted…? You’re literally the problem.

You said it for me. I’ve been driving truck since ’98 when I turned 21. Anyone who thinks this has a remote chance of being upheld is beyond delusional. Interstate 15 from Canadian border (sweetgrass MT) to SoCal has a HIGH majority of non English speaking drivers. Majority of those have Canadian plates and rarely follow the 55mph for trucks(in CA) along with various other laws for trucks. It’s somewhat the “wild west” because of the gray area of being Canadian. Definitely not the wild west like trucking used to be but that’s a different story. In short WTH do people think will be the enforcement of this? Spelling tests at weigh stations?! Any license test changes will be years out when their renewal comes up and that will only apply to us citizens. Stop me if you heard this one b4! Wake up and stop this toxic positivity that perpetuates the unwillingness to see things for what they are.

How about being able to drive properly? What exactly does English proficiency have to do with one’s ability to drive a big rig?

You have to be trolling? No way you asked this with a straight face.

I guess it would be better to require all law enforcement and first responder personnel to learn every language and dialect on earth in order to be able to communicate with the drivers.

BTW – How did they pass the CDL test without being able to speak English?

“How did they pass the CDL test without being able to speak English?” Pastor, have you ever seen the type and caliber of humanoids who work for the DMV? In the Kalifornia Soviet Republic, it was a major scandal over 40 years ago.
As a Deputy Sheriff in SoCal, I would routinely stop wetback truck drivers with a valid California CDL who spoke English about as well as my cat. I would just arrest them, call the Border Patrol up from San Onofre, and tow their owner’s rig. Or they would get drunk and play pinball on parked cars along the streets. But hey, money talks and the employers never saw a day in jail. Life is a vale of tears.

It was a rhetorical question.

Fact:
During a single snowstorm this past Winter in Nebraska, there were 84 commercial vehicle wrecks. 79 of them were foreign born commercial drivers.

Who else remembers the 80s when we first started complaining about press 1 to continue in English…? We were already at least a decade behind the curve, probably two.
