If i got my american drivers licence and i was 16 and drove in a country where its -18 what would happen?

Question

if i got stopped ?

Answer 1

As a tourist, you would have no problems whatsoever, they would recognize your valid license.  If you became a resident and applied for a new license I'm not sure what the rules would be.  I would guess they would issue you a license and you'd turn in your former license.  But it would depend on the rules for where ever you were.

Answer 2

Definitely look into the motor vehicle laws of that country.

Answer 3

I know  a girl who went to Spain and had no problems living there and driving with her licence being 16.

But I think you should verify depending on the country. Best look up in embassy web of that country ;o)

Answer 4

Nothing because your license is active at 16 from your country of origin, so if you go anywhere else then its still active at 16, despite their laws.

But i wouldnt recommend driving in another country at 16 years old, most times its a huge difference, and its not worth risking a car accident in another country to get yourself in all sorts of trouble. I would recommend you let the adults drive, wait until you're more experienced before you think about driving in another country.
