UOTR Staff Inviato 14 Giugno 2010 Segnala Inviato 14 Giugno 2010 Ultimo aggiornamento (verifica link/email): marzo 2025 Prima di proseguire nella lettura, per sgombrare il campo da possibili equivoci e per evitare che per la centomilionesima volta venga chiesto se fare o no la patente internazionale, vi invitiamo a leggere l'apposita FAQ. Cita D. Devo fare la patente internazionale? R. Prima di tutto, bisogna tenere conto del fatto che la patente internazionale non è una "vera" patente, ma semplicemente una traduzione certificata multilingua della propria: quindi non sostituisce quella italiana, che deve essere sempre e comunque in corso di validità, ossia non scaduta. La sua finalità principale è consentire alle autorità locali di comprendere correttamente il linguaggio della patente nazionale: tanto per chiarirci, se vi dessero un documento scritto, per esempio, in caratteri cinesi o coreani, come potreste sapere che è davvero una patente e non una tessera della biblioteca? Le attuali patenti italiane formato tessera riportano la dicitura "Patente di guida" in inglese, oltre che nelle principali lingue dell'Unione, semplificando quindi non di poco questa interpretazione. Detto questo, il sito istituzionale del Ministero degli Esteri Viaggiare Sicuri riporta: Cita E’ comunque consigliabile che la patente italiana sia sempre accompagnata dalla patente internazionale di guida conforme alla Convenzione di Ginevra del 1949. Il "sempre" è opinabile, perché solo alcuni stati la richiedono espressamente, così come indicato nel sito istituzionale Usa.gov: Cita People who drive in the U.S. must have a valid driver's license. If you're a foreign visitor, some states require you to have an International Driving Permit (IDP) and a valid license from your own country. To find out the ID requirements of the U.S. state(s) where you will be driving, contact that state's motor vehicle department. A marzo 2025 gli unici stati che la richiedono espressamente sono New Jersey, Kentucky e Rhode Island (evidenziati con un asterisco *); se avete comunque qualche dubbio, contattate direttamente il DMV o la polizia stradale dello stato che vi interessa, come abbiamo fatto noi in questo topic. In caso di ulteriori dubbi, scrivete anche alle compagnie di noleggio per verificare la validità delle informazioni.

Vi risparmiamo tutti i dettagli della ricerca, riportando solo il risultato finale: buona lettura! P.S. Il caso della Florida meritava di essere raccontato nei dettagli... ***** Il 19/07/2015 at 20:43, al3cs ha scritto: Questa "nuova" circolare mi era già stata segnalata: hanno modificato qualcosa rispetto alla marea di sciocchezze che hanno scritto l'anno scorso, ma la sostanza non cambia, nessuno si è preso la briga di andare a controllare e/o contattare gli stati USA per verificare la veridicità di quanto scritto. Io avevo già avuto qualche dubbio su Arkansas e Hawaii, poi quando sono arrivata all'Illinois ho smesso di controllare perché mi sono resa conto che - come sempre quando si ha a che fare con i nostri ministeri - è solo una colossale perdita di tempo: quando si legge che in Illinois la "patente italiana è valida se accompagnata da patente internazionale" mentre sul sito del Dipartimento dei trasporti dell'Illinois (a firma del Segretario di Stato, non del fruttivendolo - con tutto il rispetto - che lavora sotto il MIT!) c'è scritto chiaramente Cita Illinois does not recognize the international driver's license. mi pare si fughi ogni dubbio, e senza possibilità di replica, sulla serietà con cui lavorano nei ministeri italiani... Se non vi sentite tranquilli, spendete 'sti € 40 e partite sereni ma, per carità, smettetela di dare seguito ai deliri ministeriali: se avete dei dubbi contattate direttamente (COME ABBIAMO FATTO NOI, E NON IL MIT) i locali dipartimenti dei Trasporti e/o la polizia stradale dello stato e o degli stati che vi interessano, lasciate perdere le stupidaggini che dicono i ministeri italiani. ****************************************** NORMATIVA GENERALE https://www.usa.gov/non-citizen-driving Cita Depending on the U.S. states you will visit, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP) as well as a driver's license from your country. Not every U.S. state requires an IDP. Contact the state department of motor vehicles for each state you plan to drive in to see if they require an IDP. *************************************************************************************************************************************************** ATTENZIONE, alcuni siti potrebbero avere dei problemi di visualizzazione per gli ip italiani: si consiglia di bypassare il problema utilizzando un servizio di proxy online (tipo HideMyAss) o un'estensione VPN del browser (tipo Hola, Browsec o ZenMate). *************************************************************************************************************************************************** ALABAMA http://www.alea.gov/ Cita The following persons may drive a motor vehicle upon the streets or highways in Alabama without an Alabama driver license: [...] 3.

Simone75 Inviato 26 Agosto 2010 Segnala Inviato 26 Agosto 2010 Ragazzi, parto domenica, non ho la patente internazionale e ho letto quanto segue....ma è vero???? Se ricevere una multa è seccante, figuriamoci quelle ingiuste e per di più prese in vacanza. Il viceconsole italiano a San Diego, l'avvocato Roberto Ruocco, si reca almeno un paio di volte al mese presso il giudice per contestare le multe che sono inflitte agli italiani. Si tratta di sfortunati turisti che incappano in un poliziotto troppo diligente, che non sa che "negli Stati Uniti si può guidare con la patente italiana per 90 giorni, che corrisponde al periodo massimo di permanenza come turista, - ci spiega il viceconsole - ma dal momento che la stessa cosa non è valida per ogni Paese, la polizia generalmente senza patente internazionale infligge la multa". Siamo andati a chiedere di persona al Dipartimento Centrale della Polizia di San Diego, che ha fama di essere la più dura e intransigente della California, e alla domanda se un italiano può guidare con la sua patente, i poliziotti con i quali abbiamo parlato sono d'accordo sul fatto che occorra la "patente internazionale" in California. Le multe vanno pagate oppure contestate recandosi personalmente alla Corte di giustizia in una udienza alla quale si viene convocati con una lettera. Serve fornire alla polizia un indirizzo per farti recapitare il verbale e nel caso non si abbia una casa, un amico o un parente negli Stati Uniti, è consigliabile dare quello del Consolato italiano. La lettera viene recapitata alcuni mesi dopo e proprio perché un turista non può rimanere per più di novanta giorni, deve delegare un avvocato che si rechi dal Giudice per pagare la multa oppure per contestarla: altre spese che si sommano per lo sfortunato turista......
