Florida to Administer Driver License Tests ‘Exclusively in English’ to Ensure Safety

In its announcement, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) said the “driver license knowledge and skills” exams will be administered “exclusively in English,” and “This change applies to all driver license classifications, including exams administered orally.”

According to WEAR, the tests were previously offered in several languages that included Spanish, Russian, and Vietnamese, and interpreter services were also available.

The move to English-only testing comes after a semi-truck driver was accused of killing three Americans while making an illegal U-turn in Florida. He reportedly failed an English language proficiency test before the crash, and was unable to accurately identify highway traffic signs, Breitbart News reported.
