- Florida investigators uncovered a fraud scheme where migrants used hidden cameras, earpieces and accomplices to cheat on CDL tests. Applicants wore modified shirts with smartphones transmitting exam questions to off-site helpers who relayed answers in real time.
- A deadly South Florida crash (Aug. 12) involved Indian national Harjinder Singh, who couldn't identify basic road signs in English.
- Despite Trump's executive order requiring English proficiency, enforcement remains weak and Biden's policies allow loopholes. Whistleblowers revealed DMV employees are selling licenses in Florida, Kentucky and Massachusetts without proper testing.
- The proposed Connor's Law would mandate English proficiency for CDL holders but faces uncertain passage. Florida is tightening enforcement, adding immigration checks at weigh stations, but advocates demand nationwide action.
- Families of victims, like Mellissa Dzion (whose son Connor was killed), demand justice and systemic reform. The fraudulent CDL epidemic highlights reckless endangerment due to lax policies, requiring urgent federal intervention.
In a shocking revelation, Florida investigators have uncovered a sophisticated cheating operation enabling migrants who cannot speak or read English to fraudulently obtain commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) – putting countless lives at risk on U.S. highways.
The scheme – which involves hidden cameras, earpieces and coordinated accomplices – has already led to arrests in Jacksonville. However, authorities warn that similar fraud may be occurring nationwide. According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), applicants entered DMV testing facilities wearing modified T-shirts with small holes concealing smartphones.
These hidden devices transmitted exam questions in real time to off-site accomplices fluent in the applicants' native languages, who then relayed answers back through hidden earpieces. This elaborate method allowed drivers to pass CDL tests without understanding a single question – raising grave concerns about highway safety.
The issue gained national attention following a fatal crash in South Florida on Aug. 12, where a truck driver made an illegal U-turn – killing three people. The driver, identified as Indian national Harjinder Singh, was later found incapable of identifying basic road signs. Body cam footage from New Mexico police showed Singh speaking in broken English during a traffic stop.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis condemned the incident, noting that Singh "did an English test and he failed abysmally." He added: "How ridiculous is it for someone to get a CDL and not understand the language of this country?"
Fraudulent CDLs fuel highway carnage
"It is important for aspiring truck drivers in the U.S. to learn English because it ensures clear communication with dispatchers, law enforcement and other drivers, which is critical for road safety and compliance with federal regulations," Brighteon.AI's Enoch engine explains. "Additionally, English proficiency enhances job opportunities and operational efficiency in an industry where misunderstandings can lead to accidents or logistical failures."
Tragically, this is not an isolated case. Mellissa Dzion, whose son Connor was killed in a collision with a non-English-speaking trucker eight years ago, has been advocating for Connor's Law – a federal bill requiring CDL holders to demonstrate English proficiency.
Attorney Curry Pajcic, representing Connor's family, emphasized the danger. "The people in big trucks … they are killers in crashes. We in our Hyundais get killed and they walk away," he remarked. Pajcic also pointed out that despite President Donald Trump signing an executive order requiring truck drivers to be able to read and understand English, the next administration could repeal that.

Investigators suspect the fraud extends beyond the Sunshine State. In Bay County, several Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles employees were caught selling up to 1,000 licenses to migrants who never took exams. Similar schemes were exposed in Kentucky and Massachusetts, where whistleblowers revealed bribes and illegal document rings.
The Sunshine State has responded with stricter enforcement, with Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announcing that truck weigh stations and agricultural inspection sites will also serve as immigration checkpoints. Yet advocates argue federal action is essential. Connor's Law now has 14 congressional sponsors, but its passage remains uncertain.
As fraudulent CDL operations continue endangering public safety, the push for accountability grows louder – not just for the cheaters, but for the systemic failures enabling this crisis. For grieving families like Connor's, justice hinges on ensuring no more lives are lost to preventable deception.
