If i have previously been banned from driving in the UK

Super Vedder

will i be allowed to drive in FLorida or is there a period of time i would need to wait before im eligible to drive there?

Ive tried to research this on google as its quite important to my possible trip in june but have so far been unable to find anything out!

Hopefully someone here will have concrete evidence that this is ok (or worst case scenario, not!)

Thanks

Has your license been re-instated? Do you have a criminal conviction? e.g. DUI, DWI? If yes to the first, you should be okay. If yes, to the second, you should definately contact the US Embassy to find out entrance requirements to the US. Good luck!

I guess DUI covers more, drugs,, like under the influence of cocaine or better yet LSD

DWI = driving under the influence OR driving while impaired OR driving while intoxicated. Different countries/states/provinces have different acronyms for the same general thing/idea.

If the rules are similar to the UK, all you need is your current driver's license and your passport to rent a vehicle. I rented one over Xmas at Enterprise here in Newcastle and that was what they asked for.

Cheers!
