A truck driver who failed his driving test ten times killed three people in Florida after obtaining a license through lenient state policies. The driver, an undocumented immigrant, received his commercial license from Washington and California, states that issue licenses to undocumented immigrants. He had previously failed written tests multiple times and struggled with English language proficiency tests. The incident has sparked outrage, with over 215,000 people signing a petition for stricter licensing controls. A senator announced a temporary halt on issuing new licenses to foreign drivers pending a review.
