Martha Sandoval, a Mexican immigrant who lives in Mobile, doesn't understand. She is suing the state Department of Public Safety for refusing to test her in Spanish. The lawsuit represents all legal immigrants in the same boat, so to speak. Ms. Sandoval is being represented by the Southern Poverty Law Center. If it is not Confederate flags flying over Montgomery it is something like this.
Most states offer written driving tests in languages other than English.
Some states even allow interpreters. But not Alabama. Once again our state insists on presenting its nasty side to the rest of the nation, wasting time and money in court. It will be interesting to hear the state's argument when the case comes up. Presumably, it will argue that highway safety concerns are the reason for insisting on driving exams in English only.
