Spanish speakers learn strategies to pass English-only driving test in Florida

In Florida, a new rule requires all driving tests to be taken in English, posing challenges for non-English speakers like Alex López, a Guatemalan construction worker. Previously, tests were available in Spanish, but the change aligns with a stricter immigration stance. This rule affects many in diverse cities like Miami and Orlando, where a significant portion of the population speaks a foreign language at home. The policy was introduced after a fatal accident involving a non-English-speaking truck driver, with supporters arguing it promotes safety and assimilation. Critics, however, argue it unfairly targets minorities and lacks evidence that language proficiency correlates with driving safety. QUESTION: How might the English-only driving test requirement impact the daily lives and job opportunities of non-English-speaking residents in Florida?
