The article says he is a naturalized citizen. How did he get it if he can’t speak english? He isn’t old enough for a age related waiver. The only other was to get it is if he has a medical disability.
I wound up taking Ubers in Austin and some of the drivers spoke only Spanish. For the most part, it didn’t matter. They all had GPS maps with directions and they would NOT deviate from those maps. It was a dead giveaway when the map system printed the directions in Spanish and the narration was in Spanish.
