    Super bonehead at the 2:32 mark. I mean really.

    Guys are throwing hands at 23:10. @TripleSix

    31:49 And I just learned from this video why certain road signs have damage that seems inexplicable.

    I'd definitely say that there's a problem.

    In another part of the video, a driver queries a California DOT inspector about California's English language enforcement rules.

    The inspector explains that if a driver is not proficient in English then a level one inspection is automatically downgraded to a level two inspection due to the driver not understanding instructions as the inspector examines brakes under the truck and trailer.

    So, if you are a driver who doesn't speak no good English, a California DOT inspector can potentially overlook a tractor trailer with bad brakes.

    While this smooth maneuver helps keep the inspector safe, it's pretty much useless for the motoring public and other truckers.

    Well played, California. Well played. :salute:

    Yes there is a problem....I agree with every single person who is going to drive ANYTHING in every single state *not just CA* But every single state needs the DMV , DOT, ECT. to stop testing in any language except English BOOM thats where they get them....so they need to stop., then handing out a license CDL or DL in ALL states that allow tests in any language except ENGLISH; Motor vehicle dept for DL, the one for CDL..is where we take our test and that is who gives them to us......and if they would stop giving tests in any language except ENGLISH ....it would help our problems BIG TIME.
    If we treat it like it is not a problem .....nobody will do anything. And more people will be slaughtered on the roads.

    I say if they can.t speak and read English that means NO LICENCE of any kind to drive anything because Ive said it before........If you cannot read the signs.......saying SLOW DOWN MEN WORKING.......FLOOD WATERS AHEAD......ONE MILE AHEAD PILE-UP.......no CDL , no Drivers license and no exceptions. speak English . we are not picking on anyone ...we want to save lives.

    Then you’re one of the few. Keep it up.

    Good for laughs yes, but the problem I have is the rest of us get judged by the likes of them, and as long as people keep trying to invent new ways to stupidproof trucking it will only get worse as more of the drek of society decides that “HEY!! I CAN DO THAT JOB TOO!!”

    I agree. Just when we think society can’t get any dumber it does. Maybe it’s time Darwin gets paid overtime?
