TIPS ON DRIVING ABROAD

It's easy to get an IDP. Just enter "International Driving Permit" in any Internet search engine and you will
get the information you need.
Once you have the IDP, carry your own driver's license with you any time you drive outside your own country.
If possible, get a copy of the foreign country's rules before you begin driving in that country. An excellent source of information is a car rental company in the foreign country.
