Oh, ok.  So you don't care if a driver can read the sign that tells him the bridge is weight limited?  Or trucks not allowed in the left lane?  Or the upcoming overpass is less than 13' 6"?  Or the hills he is about to enter are grade 7?  And I have lots more.  But hey, your unambiguous stand is understanding reading english is not required.  

You did catch the part it is already the law, correct?

No...I don't...

You don't need to be literate, or even particularly numerate, to understand numbers on a sign.

I can't imagine anyone driving for a living who wouldn't rely on a gps.

Now, is there any evidence that literacy improves road safety?

GPS doesn't tell you all bridge heights, hill grades, bridge weight limits, etc.  

Evidence?  Maybe.

In 2016 the Obama run FMCSA stopped having road side inspectors pull non english speaking drivers from the road. 

Data from the National Safety Council shows fatal crashes involving large trucks rising consistently starting in 2016, from about 4,500 in the nation that year to 5,837 in 2022.

 By contrast, those annual figures stayed below 4,000 from 2009 to 2014.

it was largely unchanged between 2016 and 2020...on a per 100 million miles traveled basis.
