Really. Thats interesting. As I said, I even changed mine to a Norwegian license, and bypassed all the required courses (how to secure cargo on a trailer etc.....) without it. I know for sure an IDL is not required for Americans in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and I was not aware that it was different in Italy. All DLs are on an EU standard in Europe now, so I simply thought the rules about foreign DLs was the same...

But I haven't been in an accident in Italy, thank God, so I believe Opushomes.
