    That’s why road signs are published without any accent.

    Good point. The Green book is also published in Spanish, so those fluent in Spanish wanting to take the CDL exam will actually read the Green book and understand it, it so they can pass the test.

    Sean didn’t know that under W Bush and senior Bush, and Reagan and trumps first term, the non-english rules were the same as Obama’s. I guess he didn’t, because he is Mr. Common Sense.

    But will Sean care if Tesla truck computers don’t speak English to police, firefighters, or EMTs….common sense?

    They weren’t… Obama signed an executive order in July 2016 instructing federal agencies to no longer put out of service for lack of English proficiency instead just issue citations and send them on their way… Prior to that it was on the books as a regulation. It just wasn’t technically enforced as it really wasn’t such a prevalent problem as it is now

    oh yes it does because if they can’t read English. They can’t read any signs. You don’t like the ones that says stop traffic ahead road closed, etc. yes, lack of English speaking ability makes that person a hazard on the highway… folks need to stop making excuses for this crap

    Sorry, but my point is that speaking English is different than reading it. I can read French, but cannot speak or hear it at all.
