Of course, in the U.S., you don't even have to prove you can speak English or actually read the signs... in fact, they might as well just give a valid license to whoever shows up with a check, for all the good their testing does. After all, this is America, where people have the RIGHT to do whatever they want, no matter how incredibly stoopid it is...

In Virginia, you do have to show at least 5 forms of identification to prove that you live in Virginia, even if you are transferring a license from another US state. Of course, that doesn't mean you actually have to be able to read/understand said id!
My FIL is in his 80's and had macular degeneration in both eyes and can barely walk but he has a driver's license and (if we let him) could climb in his car and take a spin around the neighborhood! It's a crazy world we live in!
