Many thanks. In that case, I shall save a few $ not to get the IDP.
Completed my trip recently and hired a car for a few days in Germany. IDP was not required. Thanks everyone for the responses. |
One other thing on driving in Germany - when I went to pick up my rental and showed them my US driver's license, they didn't believe it was a driver's license. It was a new design from the State of New Hampshire. I never realized that NOWHERE on my license or my wife's did it actually say "Driver's License". It has "OPR" in big letters, indicating it's a normal operator's license (as opposed to a CDL or something). Finally, on the back, I found a signature and underneath it text saying "Director of Motor Vehicles" and they took THAT as 'proof' that it was a license.

And less known is that it is also allowed to turn left on red when going from one one-way street to another.

Thanks but I meant New York State. Any reference allowing left on red on one way streets?

Here're the Canadian rules:
If two vehicles come to an uncontrolled intersection from different roads at the same time, the driver on the left must let the driver on the right go first. At an intersection with stop signs at all corners (i.e., 4-ways or All-ways Stop as mentioned by Alex71), you must yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to come to a complete stop. If two vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield to the vehicle on the right. |

Doesn't Montreal still not allow you turn right at an intersection on a red light? Remember the old joke that in Montreal you can't turn on a red light but you can just blow right through them?:)
