Not to absolve CA DMV, but this guy almost certainly got his license because a CDL farm gave him all the appropriate paperwork. He took the much-too-easy multiple choice tests that are the same in every state, or had someone who can read English take them in his stead. He was road 'tested' by an instructor from his school (farm) who was certified by the DMV. He could have gotten his license in another state and transferred it to CA with no questions asked. There was a NJ HP caught a few weeks ago taking money to pass people. Same in Oregon a few months ago. It's a national problem.
It is way too easy to get and keep a class A license in this country and about half of the class C drivers can't park a bicycle straight.
