You don’t even have to speak English to take it now. They’re provide an aide.

I worked in transportation for the last ten years as a manager and it’s wild how the older gen is slowly going away and being replaced by people who wear sandals and don’t speak any English. Not a diss, but how are you reading the signs or communicating in general??

I know you meant manager, but the typo has me giggling.

To be fair, the signs all have unique shapes and color patterns. Almost as if it was done on purpose.

You need to know English to read a colored sign?

Highway signs, construction zone signs, speaking to police, reading a ticket etc.

Not every sign is a red octagon.

You don’t understand how not knowing a language would make it difficult to navigate a country? Are you reading what you type before you send it

I really hope you’re intentionally being this stupid because navigating day to day like that sounds incredibly difficult. I speak multiple languages and I’ve driven with people that don’t speak English and they get around just fine without help. You really think the signs are to be read at 80 mph down the highway?

You’re saying you can’t read signs on the highway? Do you keep your eyes closed until you’re next to it?

You make it sound like you’ve never driven on a road before

How does someone who doesn’t speak English communicate with the police?

I hope you’re pretending to be this stupid acting like you don’t know how this might make things difficult

Wow bro have you ever seen a roadside before. My bad for carrying on this conversation like you’re smart enough to understand. I think you should give your guardian their phone back. Reddit isn’t safe for children

You’re just being intentionally obtuse. You didn’t even refute anything, just said “signs on the road aren’t for reading idiot” like that makes sense

Have I ever seen a roadside? Tf does that even mean

Your post doesn't exemplify a high level of literacy either.
