So I have recently arrived in the US on the Visa Waiver Program from UK, it was all very last minute and it seems I had been given the wrong information.
I hold a provisional UK license and a full pakistani license [not international]. I was told by a lady at the driving centre here that I may not need an IDP as the main purpose of it is to translate the original license, but since both my licenses are in english, it shouldn't be a problem.
I was still a bit wary and after countless failed attempts to contact DPS, i decided to call the police. They had no idea and also agreed it would make sense that I would not need IDP but since they were not sure, I was told to try DPS again.
It has been over a week now and it seems no one from DPS ever chooses to answer the phone!
SO.... question is, can I drive or can I not drive here, because right now I feel sort of disabled without a car. I can't apply for a US license as I am only in the country for 3 months so you can see my dilemma.
Any help would be appreciated
