Hey there, Need this question answered and I've already tried hard googling it to no avail. If an Australian resident has their L plates (learners) are they allowed to drive in America with a fully licensed driver in the car? Asking this because next year I will be travelling across Northern America with my older brother and he was going to let me drive through smaller areas. Any help is HUGELY appreciated, if anybody even knows what the hell I'm on about.  |

Whatever the verdict is, make sure you drive on the right side of the road.

I would check with Australia first if you can get a IDP. www.usa.gov/Topics/Foreign_Visitors_Driving.shtmlAn International Driving Permit (IDP) translates information contained on your driver's license into 10 languages so that officials in foreign countries are able to interpret your license. An IDP supplements a valid government-issued license--it does not serve as a replacement for a license. If you are stopped by law enforcement, you will most likely be asked to produce both your IDP and your official driver's license. The United States does NOT issue International Driving Permits to foreign visitors, so you will need to obtain this document before traveling to the U.S. |

I spoke with some friends of mine who know all about this kind of thing. VISA's, driving privileges and the like, and this was basically what was said... |
