FMCSA passing the buck on non English speaking drivers

Why is it that certain folks want to defend folks who shouldn’t even have a cdl..non English speaking folks are a safety hazard out here..frankly the ones who keep defending these folks are part of the problem as well.

 

The simple fact is that drivers need to be proficient at reading, writing, speaking, and understanding spoken English so that they can read highway signs, fill out paperwork, and communicate with peace officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel.

This is universally true regardless of where someone was born, what color their skin is, or how many other languages they speak.

 

As Ike Stephens pointed out in one of his recent videos, certain white people from eastern Europe also need to speak English, not just non whites.

And it's patently absurd there are those here making this a racial/racist issue.

 

The ones making it a racial issue are ignorant of the entire situation…

 

Maybe it has reached a tipping point:
