This is a very hard one for me, and I think it is a political stunt, which is the only reason I voted 'disagree'.

I agree with the fact that, if someone wants to live here, they need to learn the english language. And blend in with our society. However, as we welcome businesses such as Mercedes and Honda, we need to remember that they bring with them short term employees and their families that may not be completely fluent in English (know just enough to get by) but still need to know the rules of the road and get their license for the time they are here.

When I lived in Japan, it was short term and I didnt expect anyone over there to go out of their way for me in regards to my inability to speak Japanese. I learned a little, but I also needed the ability to drive, and I learned their rules of the road and took the test in English. There is a reason why road signs are universally understood and easy to identify without knowing English.....
