This is a bit dumb. There are people here legally who can’t read/speak English well enough to take this exam but might need to drive. Not everyone who doesn’t speak fluent English is an illegal.
Too bad. Get over it and learn English faster.

So, do you advocate tests in Urdu? or Tagalog? or Mandarin?
If you need to drive, you need to learn at least enough English to take a damn test (what does: "NO TURN ON RED" mean?).
"Not everyone who doesn’t speak fluent English is an illegal."
Again, you do not have to speak fluent English - technical English would suffice.
Go to another country and try to do the same!
If I move to/work in ,,Germany, China, Russia, etc, you can damn well bet that I am going to have to learn the language if I expect to get by. I doubt I can make a call there often and hear “Press 1 for English”,, could be wrong..
Then they can have a translator just like there used to be translators. What if you are a legal immigrant from Iraq, do you have things printed in Arabic? Why not, if you are so compassionate about one person, why not all?
It’s not dumb. If you come to America, learn the language. Period. If you aren’t learning the language, trying to maintain your own culture to the extent that you can’t properly communicate - get out of our country. You are only setting yourself up as someone the rest of us is going to have to support with tax money and frankly we’re tired of it. If you are a new immigrant, don’t know the language yet, you’d better be in a class to learn. It is a privilege to be an American citizen. We want new people to love and protect that privilege as if they were native born.
He’s just play’n the odds.
