Canadian requires international driver permit to drive in Orlando?

[biggroofy]

DW claimed that she watched it in TV yesterday. Can anyone verify? Will it affect my car rental in Orlando in March?

There's a whole thread about it right here:

You can find another thread on the subject on the Theme Park board. Since the issue is pretty much done and dusted, I think that one has fallen back to the second page by now.

UPDATE on this absurd law:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: DHSMV COMMUNICATIONS
FEB. 14, 2013 (850) 617-3102
FLORIDA’S DOORS AND ROADWAYS REMAIN OPEN TO VISITORS
~ Highway Safety agency reassures visitors that travel to the Sunshine State is business as usual ~
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Whether you fly or drive to Florida, visitors can be assured the Sunshine State is
doing business as usual. Earlier today, DHSMV released a statement to media around the world that the Florida
Highway Patrol will defer enforcement of a law that requires visitors from outside the United States to have an
International Driving Permit to drive lawfully in Florida. The statement explained that the law may potentially
conflict with an international treaty.
The Department understands the concerns of the international community and is working with its partners to
ensure that visitors are not inconvenienced. Visit Florida, AAA, Canada Automobile Association and law
enforcement agencies around the state are helping DHSMV get the message out that Florida’s doors and
roadways are open as usual to all visitors.
The Department will be working with the Florida Legislature in the coming months to ensure that the law
reflects Florida’s rich history of welcoming our friends from around the world to the Sunshine State.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles provides highway safety and security through
excellence in service, education and enforcement. The Department is leading the way to a safer Florida through
the efficient and professional execution of its core mission: the issuance of driver licenses, vehicle tags and
titles and operation of the Florida Highway Patrol. To learn more about DHSMV and the services offered, visit
