I won't tell you what we were driving around today then...

But yes, I believe you should have an understanding of English to get a license.  Besides, how do they take the citizenship test if they can't read or write English?

Oh yeah, the DHL driver kind of gave us a funny look, but it was a good time.  It was more of just a turn around spot then actual driving, but all the same.

As mentioned in a post up further, you can take the "written" test verbally, with a translator.

Speech competency should be a test for citizenship, but not necessarily a Driver's License.  Fluent native language should be a requirement for any country's citizenship.

However, that does not mean you can't work at all in a foreign country.  

And seeing as how our country is so road / transportation oriented, if a person can understand road signs and the laws of the road, and more importantly, the repercussions of that, they should be allowed to get a license.







And Viking, please point to the section in the constitution that gives us the right to drive cars.  Or even point to the section that even mentions cars...

Quick question,

What percentage of the many thousands of expat Americans there are around the world do you suppose learn the language of their host country prior to driving in said country?

ABSOLUTELY!

You should not be issued a drivers license for any state/territory under United States control without the ability to read/write and speak the English language. If I was to go and want to live in any other country in the world I would imagine that I would be in need of knowing the language before they would give me a drivers license.

Good question.

I suspect the answer is very few.
