Florida is making moves to keep drivers safe with a new requirement for licensing tests.
Reacting to a series of stories about migrants and illegal aliens who caused deadly crashes across the United States, Florida is changing the way it evaluates the competency of potential drivers. Beginning on February 6, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) announced that all driver’s license tests will be issued in English only.
“This change applies to all driver license classifications, including exams administered orally,” reads a press release from the department.
“FLHSMV has updated its driver license testing system statewide. 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,” it continues.
This is a change from previous years, in which most non-commercial classifications were issued in several languages. Meanwhile, Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) and Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) exams were available in both English and Spanish.
Florida experienced this unfortunate tragedy for itself on August 12, 2025, when Harjinder Singh was arrested following a crash in St. Lucie County that resulted in the deaths of three people occupying a minivan. Singh is accused of attempting to make an illegal U-turn in an “unauthorized location.”
Illegal alien issued CDL by California. Doesn’t even speak English. Sanctuary policies are deadly.
Must hold the illegal alien accountable but also the other actors involved including the company. https://t.co/GRCOkGJLI3

“State Troopers obtained a criminal arrest warrant for the driver, Harjinder Singh, for three (3) counts of vehicular homicide. During the course of this criminal investigation and with the assistance of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), State Troopers determined that Harjinder Singh entered the United States illegally, having crossed the Mexico border in 2018. The Defendant then obtained a Commercial Driver’s License in the state of California. Under the federal authority delegated by ICE to FHP State Troopers through the 287 (g) program, State Troopers issued an ICE detainer,” a press release from FLHSMV explained.
“The actions taken by the Defendant while operating a commercial tractor-trailer are both shocking and criminal,” Executive Director Dave Kerner stated. “Three people lost their lives as a result of his recklessness, and countless friends and family members will experience the pain of their loss forever. Harjinder Singh is in custody on state vehicular homicide charges and immigration violations. He will no longer be able to damage and destroy the lives of Floridians and visitors. At the conclusion of his state charges, he will be deported. The Florida Highway Patrol remains committed to enforcing both state and federal law to ensure that people that are a danger to others face justice behind bars.”
