Wait what? I need an international Drivers Permit to drive in Italy? We’ve been there dozens of times over the past decades and never bothered to get any additional identification… is this new?
Huh, USA and Australia do not accept other countries licence at all? But I am sure some Dutch friends of mine drove a car when they were in the USA on holiday.
Kind of surprised… I know of people who have only a German drivers license but had no issues renting cars and driving them in the U.S. Or Australia. And as far as I’ve read there is no issue with that.
EU countries give maximum score to other EU countries so it is normal we are on the top.
I am surprised Finland isn’t more restrictive, they have a tough process to get a driving license.
Germany without black.
I don’t like this data.
Based on experience, India doesn’t care about IDP on the ground. Police etc only ask for your original licence. I drive there often and always take an IDP and it ends up being a pointless piece of paper.
With a Chinese license, you can request a HK license without passing any test or living there (or even being present in HK) – so it’s a bit misleading
Poor Mexico being bros 😔🇲🇽
I call bullshit. I drove in Canada with my U.K. licence with 0 issues, the same as Italy and Spain. Admittedly that was before the final hammer came down on brexit, but I can’t see how that would effect Canada driving, which was for 4 months.
Unless hiring cars aren’t influenced by this chart.
Canada and USA are ranked near the bottom for everywhere else
Russia is ranked 4 tiers higher than them
​
there is something fundementally fucked up with this table. Russia is by far one of the worst driver prodicing countries in the world
also Germany’s flag is South Ossetia.. wtf
Wait US and Canada have restrictions to each other?
So if I read this correctly, people who get their driving licence in a surprise pocket in the US, Canada or Australia get to drive in Europe, but there is no reciprocity?
How can this be when their driving licence is such a joke to get?
In the us it depends on the state, but in the vast majority of states foreign licenses are ok for 6 months. Some states require “international license”, some – original national one. Russia allows licenses which are compliant with Vienna convention, not just “international licenses”. The table seems to be a piece of bull crap.
