I do not like the idea of throwing up road blocks solely to make life harder for any group of people. It seams many times laws and regulations are made for purposes other than the ones stated by supporters. So, the following is more of a general observation. I like that the US does not have an official language.
It might be worth noting that someone driving on US roads is going to see mostly English on signs and in the event that they need to speak to someone (road blocks, traffic stops, weigh stations, etc.) it will likely be spoken English. Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_English. It might be worth making English something to have to know to be a commercial driver.
- Bender 7mo agoI do not like the idea of throwing up road blocks solely to make life harder for any group of people. Neither do I. Such tests are supposed to be performed at weigh stations. In my opinion a road block would only be required if unqualified truckers are sharing notes on how to bypass weigh stations and there are no cameras catching this behavior or if unqualified drivers are traveling in packs to cause back-ups at the weigh stations. That needs to be fixed if so.
- tocs3 7mo agoI do not like the idea of throwing up road blocks solely to make life harder for any group of people. I actually meant road blocks as a figure of speech. Like "red tape" or artificial impediments of one kind or another.
- Bender 7mo agoAh I see what you mean. Yeah that red tape should have occurred at the DMV and should have ended with a denial of a CDL. No need to let them get so far as to be held up with a truckload of goods.
