Should the written tests at the DMV be given in languages other than English?

no. learn the language or go home.

good such a lot of the ones humans are immigrants who can comprehend elementary matters like Road indicators that say "Stop!". But do not you do not forget what a tremendous discomfort within the *** the ones written assessments had been? I doubt many humans who found out english as a moment language found out all the ones tricky DMV and legislation phrases.

As I recall, one of the requirements is that the person can read enough English to follow road signs. Road signs have a very limited set of vocabulary words and never contain full sentences or long pieces of prose. Therefore, the amount of English needed to read road signs is significantly less than what would be required to pass a test in English. If road signs are the minimum standard, then it makes sense to translate the test.

People ought to be able at least to recognize if not read the traffic signs.

Of course, a lot of English-speaking people don't pay any attention to them.

No! If a person can't read the test in English how do you expect a person to read the road signs?

if english isn't their first language, they might have trouble understanding the questions.

my cousin took her driving test in spanish and she told me that the sign portion had all of the signs in english, not spanish.

also, that's why the signs are in certain pictures and colors. everyone knows that yellow signs are direction signs, blue signs are information signs, etc. and that the signs with arrows tell which way to go, the signs with people mean that there are pedestrians ahead, etc.

Well. I don't know where you live.

But in the U.S. most people speak English.

Simple.

They are... at least in Spanish.
