Just wondering, how does one get a commercial license if you can’t read?

Just wondering, how does one get a commercial license if you can’t read? I think it was more of a case of the truck driver not being able to make out the cop's handwriting.

I was coming back to the story to post the same thing. How would he keep his log books up too? Doesn’t excuse what happened to him though.

The driver said he wanted to read the ticket before signing.
He wasn’t allowed to read it.

In the NBC article that is linked in post #2, I think you'll find the answer here:
Kozancenko said he first wanted to read the ticket before signing.
I think the article summary on this thread is wrong. He could read it, but he apparently wasn't given time to read it first.
I don't sign things without reading them, either. He probably wasn't reading fast enough to suit the officer. But, there was no dashcam video to show what really happened.
As someone else has noted: all of the charges have been dropped. He should have never been ticketed in the first place: the officer misread the driver's logbook.

A person can have the perfect long distance vision needed for driving but can’t read a thing without reading glasses. This is my situation.

They have interpreters. Saw them when I went with my son for his commercial.

It isn’t that he can’t read. Apparently he wasn’t being allowed to read the citation, but was ordered to sign it without reading it first.
