Florida BANS Driver License Tests in Foreign Languages

[protectionist]

Every sign on the road is not a stop sign. WHat is the problem with providing the driver's test only in English? The road signs are all in English.

The problem is showing common sense logic to a liberal.

 

[protectionist]

Because the Drivers Test does contain those road signs
STOP, YIELD, ONE WAY, DO NOT ENTER

Drivers need to know what they mean
But the test itself will have multiple choice answers in a language they don’t understand
They may know the correct answer to the question but don’t understand the question because it is in another language

Which means they won't know what this signs are saying, when they see them. Duh!

Which of the following statements about railroad crossings is true?​

It is against the law to go around lowered gates at a crossing.
You must stop at a railroad crossing when directed to do so by a flagger.
Not all railroad crossings are equipped with flashing red signals and gates.
All are true


Now a person who speaks another language may know the laws about railroad crossings but cannot understand the question or the answers.
They could give the correct answer if it was in their own language

They cant read road signs. Duh!

I think they need a proficiency in understanding signs in English and how to respond
They do not need to understand English to read complex questions and answers

And if they don't have a proficiency in understanding signs in English, then 3 people might get killed, as exactly what happened, when Harjinder Singh made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike in August 2025 that killed three people,
after being unable to read a sign saying

That's why different signs have different shapes and colors, not five page essays.

What good does shape & color do if the driver cant read these words >>

 

[Dekster]

In what contorted, mish-mash universe does this make any sense ?

Hope you live in Florida and have lots of uninsured driver's coverage....

 

[Unkotare]

Shapes. Colors.

I don't drive. I take cabs and HART plus.

As for your post -

Shapes. Colors.

Ahhh, yes. Things artists think about >>>

I feel bad for all those Cubans that live there.

Roughly 60% of Cuban Americans speak English proficiently.. what source are you using

Facts on Hispanics of Cuban origin in the United States, 2021​

Language​

• 72% of U.S. Hispanics ages 5 and older speak only English at home or speak English at least “very well,” compared with 64% of Cubans.
• Meanwhile, 67% of Hispanic adults are English proficient, as are 59% of Cuban adults.

I'm a socialist and have never said that.

The real socialist encourages progressive liberal to say things like that.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Why would you name yourself after a man who begged his people to reject socialism?

One of the tenets of socialism is to rewrite history.

@unkatore wants traffic signs the size of billboards written in 10 languages

 

[rightwinger]

They cant read road signs. Duh!

Of course they can
Țhey are not that difficult

They just can’t read complex questions on a test

 

[rightwinger]

You can show it about as much as you can know what to do when you encounter dozens of other road signs, all in English. You can't. That's the point. Duh!

While driving you are not required to answer multiple choice questions in a language you do not understand

 

[Mac-7]

While driving you are not required to answer multiple choice questions in a language you do not understand

How do we know that you know?

The test shows you a sign and requires you to convey what the sign says

How do you accomplish that if you if you cant read English?

Print the answers in 10 languages?

You can know what a sign means without reading English fluently.

Reading signs does not require fluency in English
Answering complex questions does

Unless you are demanding that we throw out the test and just let everyone drive without a licsense your argument makes no sense

 

[rightwinger]

What does it tell you if people know the answer to a question when asked in a language they understand.
But don’t know the answer if you ask a question in a language they don’t know?
