Sure, the usual clowns will make this into some racist conspiracy against Latinos, “telling someone not to speak Spanish.” But that’s a load of crap. The rule is not “No Spanish allowed” but rather “English Required.”
And it is required. The DMV is not supposed to issue licenses to people who are incapable of understanding English regulatory and safety traffic signs. Makes no difference if someone speaks Spanish, German, or Esperanto. They must speak English ALSO. The DMV has been failing in this responsibility for years, handing out licenses like candy to any drunk, stoned 14 year old with a pulse and a fake SSN. If police have to issue MORE citations so that people take their responsibility to be safe drivers seriously, then MORE power to them.
Driving is a LICENSED priveledge, and therefore NOT a RIGHT.
