According to Transport Topics (4/9/07), Commercial truck drivers would be required to communicate in English and take their certification tests without the help of translators under a bill approved by the House of Representatives in the state of Missouri.
Critics said there is no evidence to suggest that drivers who cannot speak English are less safe than those who can. The law may open the door to discrimination by license testers.
Currently, applicants can take the written test in English or Spanish by computer. During the driving part of the test, evaluators can gesture to explain instructions.
The bill requires another vote before moving to the Missouri Senate.
