Duffy announces emergency shutdown of 110 driving schools over English proficiency rule

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has ordered the emergency closure of over 110 driving schools due to their issuance of driver's licenses to more than 5,000 individuals who failed English language proficiency (ELP) tests. The Department of Transportation (DOT) stated that these schools violated regulations requiring applicants to demonstrate sufficient English skills before receiving a license. This action comes amid ongoing debates about language requirements for licensing and concerns about public safety. The affected schools are being investigated further, and the DOT emphasized the importance of ensuring all drivers meet the necessary standards. This move reflects broader efforts by federal authorities to enforce compliance with licensing rules.
