Two truck drivers were recently ticketed in DeKalb County, Alabama, for not speaking English — making them the first to be cited under a federal rule that’s now being enforced again.
The rule itself isn’t new — it’s been on the books for years — but enforcement was minimal until President Trump reinstated it through an executive order in June.
🔹 The law requires drivers to be able to read road signs and communicate with law enforcement.
🔹 Fines start at $500 and can go up to $1,000.
🔹 Drivers without sufficient English skills can also be placed out of service.
What do you think — is this about safety, or does it go too far?
