The U.S. has been a home to many immigrants from different countries for years. Many of these immigrants struggle to learn the English language. In order to make transportation easier, the U.S. government made sure that the DMV makes the written tests in many different languages. Some improvements in technology have also helped greatly with this issue.
It’s a good idea to do this because it gives more opportunities to the immigrants that have difficulty learning a new language, especially since the U.S. is a big melting pot. Not everyone has the same learning capacity and when you’re in a different country with a different culture, learning a new language doesn’t make life easier.
I think this is a very interesting topic. If the situation were reversed and let's say everyone in PR was required to speak Spanish in order to drive, then I wouldn't be able to drive here! I definitely agree that expecting others to be proficient in English to drive in the US is discriminating.
