The government of Florida has just announced that the Florida Highway Patrol will not enforce a new law requiring Canadians to have an International Driving Permit.
CAA saying in a statement they are grateful that the state of Florida has responded to pressure from CAA and thousands of concerned Canadians on this issue.
However, they are still seeking clarity from the state on whether this applies to all the over 400 law enforcement agencies that exist in Florida.
In the meantime, CAA advices Canadians travelling in the next few days that it’s better safe than sorry and they should get an IDP. Those who will not be travelling for some days, and those already in Florida are advised to wait for developments.
We will issue a release once the situation becomes more clear.
