re: #316 Shug

what if a demented chinese woman who speaks no English needs her DMV forms filled out for her drivers license and there are no translators to help her?
and
How will she pass the road test if the STOP signs are printed in English only ?


A lisence to operate a motor vehicle necessitates certain skills, among them communication. It is not a right.
But citizens have certain rights, and if an ability to communicate prevents them from realizing those rights, then the goverment should do all it can to ensure all its people are protected and receive their rights.
