FLHSMV announces driver license exams to be administered in English only
Press release from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Today, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) announced that, beginning Friday, February 6th, all driver license knowledge and skills examinations will be administered exclusively in English. This change applies to all driver license classifications, including exams administered orally.
Previously, knowledge exams for most non-commercial driver license classifications were offered in multiple languages, while Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) and Commercial Driver License (CDL) knowledge exams were only available in English and Spanish. Under the updated policy, all driver license knowledge and skills testing will be conducted in English.
To implement this change, FLHSMV has updated its driver license testing system statewide. Language translation services will no longer be permitted for knowledge or skills examinations, and any printed exams in languages other than English will be removed for use.
FLHSMV remains committed to ensuring safe roadways for all Floridians and visitors by promoting clear communication, understanding of traffic laws, and responsible driving behavior.
Way past time. And I am a native Spanish speaker.
About time we get back to it
Take back America before the liberals ruin it completely.
Great news more unlicensed and uninsurable drivers on our roads! Who’s virtue signaling?
Great to see your acknowledgement that it’s not just people who speak foreign languages driving without licenses and insurance.
Prizzia might blow a gasket over this and demand the street signs in Alachua county have Spanish added to them lol. At your expense too.
