Het gaat idd weer nergens over! 2x 18 euro p.j down the drain. Maar voor 36 euro neem je ook weer niet het risico!

[FREDmirals]

bij de meeste verhuur bedrijven zie je langzaam deze nieuwe regel door komen.

Gaat nergens over, maar goed.

Kan je toch met een gerust geweten vertrekken en heb je een stressfactor minder.

“..The intent of the change in Florida law regarding the International Driving Permit was to aid law enforcement in Florida when interacting with drivers holding a license in a foreign language. The Department of Highway Safety will seek to clarify the law in the upcoming Legislative session, which begins next month, to make it clear that a license already written in English would be acceptable. Until the law is clarified, drivers should obtain an IDP,..”

Statement from DHSMV on International Driving Permits

During the 2012 legislative session, the Florida Legislature amended section 322.04, Florida Statutes, to require visitors from outside the United States to have an International Driving Permit in order to drive lawfully in Florida. This change took effect Jan. 1, 2013.

It has come to the Department’s attention that this requirement may violate the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949), an international treaty to which the United States is a signatory. Treaties to which the United States is a party preempt state laws in conflict with them.

Therefore, the Florida Highway Patrol will defer enforcement of violations of the amended statutory section until a final determination of the alignment of the amendment with the treaty can be made. Non-resident visitors to Florida who wish to drive while here will be required to have in their immediate possession a valid driver license issued in his or her name from another state or territory of the U.S. or from their country of residence. However, the FHP will not take enforcement action based solely on the lack of an International Driving Permit.

Ik heb hem nog niet gehaald zou het vandaag doen maar als ik dit lees twijfel ik weer en vond het ook een rare regel zeker voor mensen die al een Engelse vertaling hebben in hun rijbewijs. zit die er niet op dan snap ik het. Had gister ook al op facebook iets gezien van American Vacation waarin stond dat die wet er was maar dat ze nu weer aan het kijken waren om hem iets aan te passen. Voor de mensen die al een engelse translation er in hebben staan.

Thanks for your question. Effective January 1, 2013, Florida Statute 322.04 was amended to require all foreign visitors who drive in Florida to obtain an International Driving Permit in addition to their valid home country driver license. This applies to any vehicle that is to be driven in Florida, including rental vehicles.

The International Driving Permit must be in the person’s name and from their country of residence. They will need to contact the authorities in their country who issued their driver’s license, or the motoring association there, to find out how to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP).

We apologize for any confusion caused by a new law in Florida concerning International Driving permits. This is the new policy, which was enacted on Thursday afternoon February 14, 2013 concerning that law.
