Last week, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced that it will defer enforcement of violations of the controversial new state law requiring visitors from outside the United States to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) in order to drive lawfully in Florida.

It has been determined that such requirement violates some parts of the Geneva Convention. Amendments will follow in the next few days, but the law will remain in effect.

CAA-Quebec is offering drivers who have already obtained an IDP but want to wait to see how this all plays out a full reimbursement of the costs incurred.
