Re: International Driving Permits

Try to make it my last post on the topic. That RACV list is rubbish. As you will see most of the countries simply say recommended, in other words, not needed. No EU country requires it. I have been to Jamaica and Barbados (not on the list) they used to require you to attend a police station with your proper license and passport and get a visitor driver permit issued for a fee, though now in Barbados the rental companies can do it for you on the spot, Jamaica no longer requires it at all. I have driven in eastern europe and been pulled over, they couldn't give a toss in CZ about an IDP, just wanted to see my passport, which was in my hotel so they just looked at the drivers license and sent me on my way. The issuing authority for an IDP is an auto club, which has no authority
