NEW - ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ENFORCEMENT

According to the FMCSA website, FMCSA personnel are advised to initiate all roadside inspections in English. If the inspector’s initial contact with the driver indicates that the driver may not understand the inspector’s initial instructions, the inspector should conduct an ELP assessment in order to evaluate the driver’s compliance with 49 CFR § 391.11(b)(2). This assessment should consist of a (1) driver interview; and (2) highway traffic sign recognition assessment.
