Wow Really

I do not understand what you are trying to show us here.So if a company hires Mexican Drivers that speak little english that will effect the safety of said company?

 

Don't speek or understand english, when all road signs are in english, and you don't think that effects safety?

 

Ad states you need to understand a little english.Apparently they understood enough to pass a road test to get their CDL.

 

wrong again, CDL test in texas is adminstered in spanish also. It is considered descrimination to force them to take the test in english.

 

Interesting,so what you are saying is on the road test they go out and change all the road signs to spanish?

 

"Wrong again, CDL test in texas is adminstered in spanish also. It is considered descrimination to force them to take the test in english."

The world we live in has such confused values. Discrimination to have english only testing, in a world of english only signing. In Canada the signs are French and English, so I guess we'll be doing Spanish/English signs sometime soon. I wonder how much that'll cost, and who'll pay? I guess we all pay with our taxes, but it's surely a changing environment. As for today? Easy to memorize a few signs on a predictable route. It seems to me that I had to read those signs to my NMDOT examiner? I don't really care, what's one driver going to do about it, but our industry is getting harder and harder on drivers, harder to do it right, harder to make any money, harder to keep up with all the new and exciting regulations made by people who don't have a clue about driving a 70' long vehicle weighing 15-20 tons. It's a living.

 

The routes they used for the road test are well known before hand. And the person administrating the road test must speak spanish, or a interpreter is provided by the state. And on a road test the driver does not have to read street signs, or figure out where he is going, he is veribally told where to go.

So yes, not being fluent in english affects safety.

 

They know a lot more English than they let on.
