If drivers need to know English…

As of march 1 it is.

 

Since 85% of the population speaks English I guess you would

 

Thats what they said about Germany when I got there in 76. I found that to be NOT true...

Fortunately I spoke enough German to get me by.

 

Well go to Israel and report back your findings

 

Lol, Ive been everywhere in the world I wanted to go (except maybe Italy), and a lot I didnt want to go. You can get some pretty good houses near the Adriatic Sea dirt cheap (which probably means they were built by the Romans and are falling down) down near the heel of the boot. If this country keeps going in its death spiral, I may have to look into that.

I have looked into Germany, but their requirements for citizenship I wouldnt be able to cope with. Italy is easier.

 

Im back. Heres my findings...

We thought Israelis could speak English, then we saw the data

Additional proof of the relatively low level of English proficiency in Israel was provided by data collected between 2018 and 2020 by the National Center for Exams and Evaluation – only 15% of respondents demonstrated high-level proficiency in the language. An additional 18% possess English that enables only basic conversation, and about a third of the graduates from the Israeli education system are unable to communicate in the language independently and fluently.
Note that the data refers only to candidates for academic studies who took one of the English exams to obtain an exemption from studying the language at a university or college, so it's reasonable to assume that the state of English knowledge among the general population is much worse.

Edit: According to this only 80% of AMERICANS speak english. I dont accept this number. I DO know that roughly 5% of Minnesotans do not speak english (at all), so I would find it VERY hard to believe that 85% of Israelis do.

Approximately 21.6% of Americans, or about 68 million people, spoke a language other than English at home in 2019. This represents a significant portion of the US population, indicating a diverse linguistic landscape.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Total US Population: Around 333 million people.

• Limited English Proficiency (LEP): An additional 29.6 million people have limited English proficiency, meaning they struggle to understand, speak, read, or write in English.

• Bilingualism: Many of those who speak a language other than English at home are also bilingual, proficient in both languages.

• Non-English Speakers: Roughly 68 million people spoke a language other than English at home, according to the US Census data.

• English Only Speakers: This leaves about 265 million people who speak English only at home.

 

Speaking only about trucking, not anything else >>> not being political. ​

Nope, it can't be challenged.

Why?

We are a regulated industry.

While it is clear and upheld in the courts (a little bit about that later), the Interstate Commerce Clause gives the power to Congress to create a law and/or regulation and the executive branch the power to enforce them - exclusively.

That clause is located in Article I, Section 8, Clause 3:

"The Congress shall have Power... To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."

It won't matter. Trump can order all US federal government business to be in English as long as it does not violate the Civil Rights Act and a couple of other laws. This has already been in court during the Bush administration.

Again, he has the power to issue one for trucking, for business of the US government and a few other things.

We have 2, TWO branches of government under the constitution, with a third to be limited in both scope and purpose. Congress and the president (by his signature) was given the power to regulate the courts but in 1803 the SC created stole power from the people by issuing Marbury and now we are so screwed up we have a court that is doing things that are not allowed by the constitution.

Really?!?

Look around dude.

Yes, it does, regarding two things - Political speech and government censorship. AND only those two things.

It is not there to protect protesters who are protesting another country, or to act violently.

Outside of that, in any regulated industry, there is no protection when it comes to fulfilling a regulatory requirement.

Many in this industry don't get how it works, Congress makes the laws, the agency under the law creates the regulations, and we all have to abide by them.

 

Except what I posted was directly from the CVSA manual on how to challenge it. The agency that regulates it detailed EXACTLY how to challenge a reg. I didnt make that #### up, its straight from the government agency... So everything you wrote (which frankly I didnt bother to read) is invalid.

And as you yourself wrote: "CONGRESS shall have the power"... NOT the President.

And the courts are in place to make sure every law, regulation, ordinance, policy, ect is in compliance with the constitution. Thats why the court cant tell a baker in Colorado that she has to make a cake for a gay wedding when it goes against her religion because it violates the constitution reversing a lower court ruling. Its all a question of rights. And when roughly 10% of the American public has no or limited knowledge of english it IS up to the courts to rule on if that violates the constitution or not, and they have every right to reverse it if they see fit to. So please, dont think for a minute that ANYTHING in this country cant be challenged in court. Especially when the government is the one that is trying to restrict people from doing something.

 

Well, what's German's requirements?

 

You got a computer, look it up. I would have to to answer it, so no point in both of us doing it...
