I have a British Columbia (Canada) driver's license. I know that IDPs are "accpeted" in those countries but is the IDP really needed anymore? If the police stop me will they hassle me if I don't have one? An IDP (or IDL) is simply a translation of the driver's license. Strictly speaking it has no legal value, only your original driver's license counts. Right, an with a Canadian licence that doesn't make much sense, as the Canadian licence is already in English, so no need for translation (the IDP translates into english, french an Russian I think). I would assume that a Hungarian oder Croatian policeman knows enough english to figure out the original licence without an IDP. It's more useful when your original licence is in some exotic language that is not understood in many countries. I believe the Finns will accept any valid license so long as it is in Roman characters... |
