Florida announced on Jan. 30 that exams for all driver’s licenses will be conducted in English only.

The policy will take effect from Feb. 6 and will abolish driving tests that Florida previously offered in other languages, such as Arabic, Chinese, Haitian Creole, Spanish, and Russian, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said.
