Florida moving to English-only driver’s license exams

Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced beginning Friday, Feb. 6, all driver license knowledge and skills examinations will be taken in English. 

“To implement this change, FLHSMV has updated its driver license testing system statewide,” FLHSMV wrote in the news release. “Language translation services will no longer be permitted for knowledge or skills examinations, and any printed exams in languages other than English will be removed for use.” 

The changes also will be applied to commercial learners permits and commercial drivers license. 

"FLHSMV remains committed to ensuring safe roadways for all Floridians and visitors by promoting clear communication, understanding of traffic laws and responsible driving behavior," FLHSMV wrote.
