    CVSA says non English speakers aren’t a safety risk.

    I’d like you to point to one accident that was a direct result of someone not knowing English..maybe I’m blind but I have yet to see one..

    If taking his dash cam is the only thing that they have to charge him with then…good luck.

    Personally I’d have taken (dash cam) mine also to give to my attorney. Or get a warrant for it otherwise F off and die beach.

    That's just the convenient excuse the minute someone sees the driver's name. The news is all about trends. Dude says you have to read signs....while I do think it's important to read signs, American drivers don't read signs any more than foreign drivers do. Everyone types into the GPS and hopes for the best.

    If you can't read everything that's on the cereal box from which you got your CDL -- it's probably a safe bet you can't communicate with DOT during an inspection (or otherwise).
    :p:D:rolleyes:

    I read signs, maybe you dont? I guarantee you american drivers do read signs more than foreign ones because they can read them.

    I read signs....and I'm glad you do.....now we are anomalies. People by enlarge don't pay attention to anything. My opinion is an indictment on drivers regardless of their nationality. There are drivers at my place of employment that don't read signs. They put it in the GPS and hope for the best. I've ridden with them. When guys have ridden with me, they're always surprised at how I get to pickups and deliveries....."Wow! I've never seen this route before! My GPS always takes me this way!"

    The question (challenge) I posted will go unanswered by the peanut gallery..

    I've been steering clear of these types of threads lately because they’re toxic.

    You should explain what you posted and what it’s all about.

    I'm quite sure that it has nothing to do with something from the political forum that you’re trying to drag into the open forum..

    Go ahead and explain everything :)
