Traffic Rules And An IDP For A Safe Journey



When someone is planning to move to any other country in a private car then he needs to be a bit careful for few things. The first thing is that he should check if he is carrying the authentic drivers license or not. In all chances it has to be valid and should not expire during his journey. The next thing he should have is an International Drivers License. The IDL must be accompanied by the valid license of your country. The IDP is slightly larger than a passport and it has vital statistics and photograph. It is important to have this license if someone is a United States citizen because a U.S. driver license is only acceptable in Canada and western European countries. If you do not have an IDP, you will not get auto insurance in any foreign country. The first step in obtaining an international driver permit is to renew your license. This is because you must have a valid U.S. driver license to get an IDP and it means you have to fulfill all the requirements for driving in the United States.

Two passport-size photographs are needed for this. You should make sure they are the right dimensions because the issuer of the IDP will not accept photos that are not the right size. You should be aware of scams - individuals or companies claiming that they can get you an IDP are just after your money. So be careful while applying as you might get into trouble if your International Driver’s License is not found authentic. In the application, you will be required to give personal information and details of your travel such as the length of you stay. After you have applied, contact the agency for details on permit fees. After this, visit the local offices to make the payment and to collect the permit. The combination of a U.S. driver license and an International Driving License will allow you drive in 150 countries. You should research on whether the country you are visiting is among these 150 countries and if it is not, research on what the country requires you to drive there. You should note that in most countries, the age limit for having a driver license is 18 years.

Even with an International Drivers License, you should note that wherever you are, driving is a responsibility and a privilege. You should therefore study the traffic rules and regulations of the country you are visiting because some are very different from U.S. rules and regulations, such as driving on the left side of the road in some countries.

So take care of the traffic rules of that particular country and have a nice and safe journey.
