    Once upon a time until the epa decided to give the states the right to regulate emissions.

    Now regardless of the epa, any state can adopt the CA carb laws..

    Whats crazy now is the ones who created the epa and who were pro states rights are now sniveling about it :)

    Unfortunately there is no national standardized English test available. Therefore it is an unenforceable rule. Besides fmcsa does allow drivers to use one of the many translation apps.

    What many don’t seem to comprehend about this issue is if you go to another country that has a different language it would be pertinent to at least learn enough of their language to be able to communicate and what not…

    Well, perhaps it's time to start holding some examiners accountable. I mean, why are they even there?

    I believe only if they’re hearing-impaired, no?

    Most these officers aren't going to ask some white guy from Kansas if he can read English. It's obviously going to target guys that show up with yellow finger nails that look like they swam all the way from somali . Id be glad to sit down in a rocking chair and read DOT the little engine that could, if it meant I never had to hear another language again in America. I quit flatbed because I got so sick of showing up to construction sites And no one could speak English.
