IACP - Impaired Driving Guidebook
The IACP Impaired Driving sub-Committee (IDSC) developed this Guidebook as one step towards combating impaired driving and providing resources and methods to do so. The target audience includes state, provincial, county, local, and Tribal police executives and their agencies. Whether your agency is already strategically focused on eliminating impaired driving or you are contemplating making it a high priority, this Guidebook is intended to serve as a resource to assist you in that effort.
International Driving Permits - not International Driver's Licenses
The Internet is saturated with Web sites and advertisements marketing international driver's licenses (IDLs)
Law enforcement is now seeing IDLs in the field. Officers conducting traffic stops have seen both U.S. citizens and foreign nationals carrying IDLs as both a license to drive and a form of identification.
In reality, there is no such thing as an international driver's license. Selling them is a scam. The IDL should not be confused with a legal document called an International Driver's Permit (IDP).
An IDP is an official booklet that translates a driver's license into several languages. In many countries (but not the U.S.), a visitor who wishes to drive is required to have an IDP. Learn more about the IDP International Driving Permit.
