Didn't know that there was such a thing as an international drivers license nor did I realize that my good old NY drivers license wouldn't be valid anywhere I went! Good thing I never went to Europe!!! Lol..I got an international driver's license and drove in a few other countries. I thought I was a pretty good driver. Nope. The foreign driver's go through hell to get a driver's license. By the time they get one they are very good drivers. I was impressed at how fast and close together they drove. Yet, there rarely was an accident. Around here there are probably 10 - 20 accidents on the local freeways everyday. People do not pay attention and do not expect the unexpected.
