It's crazy when they can't even understand what you are saying or understand the road signs, and yet WE are supposed to adapt to accomodate them. If they want to work in England they can learn to speak English.

I agree with you. British people applying for a driving licence have to take a written exam. Once again we are expected to bend over backwards to accomodate others.

Are you suggesting that English lorry drivers can speak all EU languages when they deliver loads throughout Europe?
Or does this 'rule' of yours just apply to 'foreign' workers in England?

very last time I went to jap Europe, the instructor driving force became also an finished time lorry driving force. even as he requested for a damage day, his boss informed him to flow and artwork for someone who could enable that. He could were restricted by technique of the ecu guidelines, yet they are commonly flouted. In Moscow, I said human beings driving round cones on a parking zone. in the journey that they did not knock the cones over, they exceeded their driving try. regardless of the truth that some drivers do advance with journey, some do no longer.

The same way that you are allowed to drive if you go to another country and don't speak the language.

Any one who can't read or speak the native tongue shouldn't be driving on our roads - there are enough accidents already.
When I passed my driving test it was a requirement that you could read and write.
I didn't know our standards had dropped so low.

Yeah, I know what you mean. You Brits come to the States and act like you own the place. I know you guys can read English but when are you going to learn to speak it? We go out of our way to learn terms like lorry, boot, windscreen, bonnet etc. What right do you have to travel abroad?

The road signs are the same all over europe, they too can use satnav in their own language. this makes driving easier all over europe.

most british drivers can bearly speak english, and most of them ignore road signs and speed restrictions as well, so the foriegn drivers should fit right in.
