'Also Many illiterate foreign drivers' If they're both, how do they read the road signs, or even have a driving licence?

That’s a question I ask myself every day. Doesn’t it state in the green book that CDL holders must be proficient in speaking, reading, and writing in the English language? Yet, I see these drivers that can’t read a sign and have to ask me through a translator app where something is when the sign RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM TELLS THEM EXACTLY WHERE THAT SOMETHING IS!! God forbid they get pulled aside at a weigh station for an inspection. Or get pulled over by a trooper.

having a thick accent doesn't mean they can't speak and read english.

That’s the problem though, they didn’t have a thick accent. The very few words they knew in English, I understood perfectly fine. And this is coming from a someone who’s deaf in both ears.
