The DMV is famously unpleasant, but Florida just found a way to make getting your driver's license even more complicated.

Starting Friday, Feb. 6, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) announced that all driver's license exams will be available only in English. This change applies to both commercial and non-commercial licenses, and eliminates tests previously offered in languages such as Spanish and Haitian Creole, as well as the option to use an interpreter.

As you'd expect, the new law is sparking a lot of debate online. The main argument of supporters is that the English-only tests will improve road safety because road signs are all in English.

But for many, that rationalization simply isn't cutting it. One Reddit user pushed back, saying, "Guess what — safety-critical road signs are identified by shape, color, and design... Not words. This is so they can be unambiguously interpreted fast, including by people with disabilities or who speak a different language."

Many who oppose the law are calling it xenophobic and racist, especially given Florida's diverse demographics. According to the US Census Bureau, 28.7% of the state's population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, and 30.1% of households report speaking a non-English language at home — most commonly Spanish, which is spoken in 22% of households.

"Florida's decision to end multilingual driver's license tests creates needless barriers for Spanish-speaking communities," wrote Florida Rep. Lois Frankel on X.
