Sounds like a good idea.

It quite unfair they cater to a few and not all.

seems like a good time to use another language - like klingon or na'vi - and then demand my rights.

Another one of these scary moments.

I agree with Danno...

I also have to agree with Danno on this. If our signs are only in English, then from a safety standpoint the test should be as well.

That's another valid point. I think Danno criticized that some foreign languages are more equal than others. Spanish? Check. Korean? Check. Arabic? Check. There are others that have the privilege of not having to have command of the English language to obtain a DL. I remember that I didn;t have that privilege when I immigrated and neither did my wife. If DL tests in one's native language cannot be offered to all immigrants, then it should be offered to none. Simple matter of fairness. But again, your point is very valid as well.

Hence, the governors plan, one language!

I really don't understand why anyone would have a problem with this, but there are people who do, apparently.
