The actual language doesn't really mean anything. The fact that they didn't speak any english at all, that might.
Here in Minneapolis, there's been some problems with the testing to get people their licenses. I can't remember the specifics, but I saw on the news awhile ago that what was happening is that the interpreters were actually coaching for the correct answers on the written and driving tests. So people were passing without actually having any idea what they were doing.
Not saying that knowing english means that all english speakers are good drivers by any means. Just that it was one more crack for bad drivers to slip through...
