"Jak" immigrated to the United States from Eastern Europe, and he is not yet fluent in English. When he originally arrived in Tennessee, he used an international driver’s license. But when it expired, he discovered that the Tennessee Department of Safety would not let him use a translator (even at his own expense) when he took the driving test. Tennessee law allows a translator only for people who speak Spanish, Korean, or Japanese, which did not help Jak. We referred the case to Melinda Meador, who persuaded the Department to permit Jak to take the test with a translator.
