What a ridiculous law.
Via simple deduction and elementary reasoning, as well as a rudimentary understanding of ‘how’ the English language relates to French and other Romance languages should allow just about anyone with a brain to be able to decipher a Quebecois driver’s license.
After Quebec goes adrift...I think we should just absorb Anglo-Canada. Would help to dilute the nonsense flowing over our southern border.
Not while Obama’s in charge!
I think that speaks to the level of education these days. There was a time when grade-school and high-school English classes included the origin of words and the relationship between English and other languages. Growing up in Canada I also had the advantage of French lessons from kindergarten on- not adequate to speak the language but it helps.
When Texas Secedes from the Union, we’ll ask Alberta to join us.
Does the international permit for Canadians have a section where they have to acknowledge that turn blinkers have an “off” position?
And they drive REALLY slowly !
LOL. Living here in the Coachella Valley (think Palm Springs area) of California, our population increases by about 35% each winter when the “snowbirds” arrive from British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, etc. The biggest complaint of us locals is that these folks drive well below the speed limits and usually in the left lanes. Then they write to the local newspaper that we Californians should lower our speed limits.
Canadians...just tell them you sneaked across the Mexican border and they’ll give you a chauffeur and sign you up for Medicaid. Might even get a ‘key’ to several cities. You can be a hero!
Canadians should be easy to spot in Florida.
They are the ones driving between the lines, signaling their turns and driving below the posted speed limit.
Let's see now...it's January.Calgary or Phoenix? Montreal or Tampa? Canadians may be a lot of things but they *ain't* stupid!
The Federal Reserve can just print up some more American Pesos.
You are correct. You do not need a passport to enter Canada from the US, a birth certificate is sufficient. You need the passport to reenter the US. As a parent of a student attending McGill University in Montreal, you can take this information to the bank.
Yup. It’s in the same place where Americans have to acknowledge that every modern vehicle HAS turn signals... ;)

Clearly a Canadian license can be read by a Florida police man. The big problem could be at the car rental kiosks. Ive rented cars in Canada and the UK without any problem using a Massachusetts drivers license.
Canadian drivers’ licences are issued by the provincial ministry of transport as well as auto regisration.
Its not that much different from American state drivers’ licensing and Canadian drivers’ licences are valid in the US.
A US law enforcement officer would still recognize a Quebec permis du conduire as a valid drivers' license.
In border states, a US passport is unnecessary for travel to Canada. A state drivers’ license, will for an additional fee, serve as a passport card too. Just show it at Canada Border Agency and you’ll be waved through.
ON freeway speed limit is 100 kph = 62 mph.
Its less in built-up urban areas. Since American motor vehicles have both km/m markers in their speedometer, complying with Canadian provincial traffic laws is seldom an issue.
