Thanks...according to my info, you need the permit to drive in Austria and Italy. Switzerland will honor a stateside license, and requires the vignette. I found out today that since I'm in the military, I can buy fuel coupons so I pay US prices for gas. That'll save some money!

What's everyone afraid of Roman driving for? It's pretty simple and to be honest, I trust the Italians far more than anyone Stateside.
That said, you have to make your presence known, or you'll get eaten alive. |

I lived and drove in Rome for a year with a north american license, no problems. My buddy hit a scooter, having only a canadian license, cops came, they explained that the license was valid but that they charge 70 euros for 'translating' the license into Italian.

1. when renting a car in most countries you usually don't need the International Permit, your NA licence is usually good enough. if you're driving someone else's car or your own, then usually you do.
2. some suggestions in Italy (and generally most of Europe), on the autostradda, keep lights on, stay on the right line except to pass, when passing keep indicator on while making the pass, drive assertively, keep your distance for sudden stops, when you have to slow down quickly put your 4-way indicators (hazards) to warn drivers behind you... 3. have fun, driving in Europe is much more rewarding that in NA (in my opinion!!) !!! ![]() |

4) don't go too slow, workers here don't want lost time, it may stay too close to your rear bumper if can't pass or think they go too slow. (speed limit too many times are absurd for travel)
