CHP begins enforcing English language rule for truckers

[Wingnut]

KRON) — The California Highway Patrol has quietly begun testing commercial truck drivers for English language proficiency, KRON4 has confirmed. The enforcement comes after California initially refused to comply with a nationwide directive from the Trump Administration.

On April 28 last year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring English proficiency for commercial truck drivers. Under the Trump administration mandate, drivers who violate the English proficiency rules must be placed out of service.

However, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, as of last October, California was the only state not in compliance with the policy. As a result, the Trump administration withheld over $40 million in funding from California.

“California is the only state in the nation that refuses to ensure big rig drivers can read our road signs and communicate with law enforcement,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy in a statement. “This is a fundamental safety issue that impacts you and your family on America’s road.”

Simple "Stop" or "Yield" signs are easy, but major highways in CA have a number of electronic signs that provide notice of lane/highway closings or hazards or etc.. English proficiency is a matter of basic safety. There was a fatal accident in the Riverside area last fall caused by a trucker (Punjabi, had entered the US illegally in the LIEden years) not understanding such a sign. It was originally believed he was under the influence of some grug or alcohol, but blood tests disproved that.

Won't Greaseball put a stop to this? How dare CHP care about the safety of motorists and pedestrians?

Only because some Indian Hindi was the issue a couple times.

Certainly we didn’t bother for Spanish.

Huh?  So are they targeting the slupee seven 11 workers  over the taco's?

The guy who caused the fatal accident in FL is also Punjabi (Punjab is in India) and also in the US illegally. Both are Sikhs rather than Hindus.

So, Sikhs are not included in the Dems' Great Replacement scheme?

Given US universities discrimination against east, southeast, and south Asians, probably not. These are all conditional POC because their successes mess with Dem-Prog victimology.
