Are you saying our state offers both RealID and none RealID driver’s licenses?

All states do (for now). Not everyone qualified to drive is capable of proving their identity to the level RealID requires.

As far as I know, Florida does not issue documents that are not REAL ID compliant.

And this is the same state that said they will have drivers license tests in English only

That would be sensible if the traffic signs were in English.

Can you read Chinese? Can you identify what this traffic sign means? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/CN...

Traffic signs have symbols and shapes. You are allowed to drive in the US with an international drivers license if you don’t speak English. Are they going to arrest someone who doesn’t speak English and got a license in another state?

Only if being illiterate also forbade you from driving, which it does not. You don't need to read the law to follow the law.

Well, there's a written exam.

		Which can be completed by someone reading it verbally and writing down their answers, pretty much the same thing as financial and legal documents can.

California offers both. I renewed my license last year. I opted for a non Real ID version because I could renew online rather than spend hours at the DMV.

I renewed mine in May and still have a non-Real ID license.

Some states, including mine, don't offer RealID at all, but instead an "enhanced driver license" that is accepted alongside RealID. I don't even have that, because I already have a passport card, so there's no reason to spend the extra money.
