The U.S.A. has an agreement with most countries whereby a full national driving licence can be used for a period of up to one year in the U.S.A.
This applies to the full U.K. driving licence.
International Driving Permits are generally not required in the U.S.A but it is helpful to carry one. If they are taken, they are only valid in conjunction with a full national driving licence. They should not be accepted on their own. |

I can't believe the uninformed answers being given here. If you have a valid UK license, you can use it to drive here as a tourist for up to a year.
If you happen to like it here, and become a resident, most states will exchange your UK license without a test for a new license. |

You can apply for an International Driver's Licence. There is or was no testing involved and you used to be able to get it at the Automobile Club. Remember, when driving in the USA you will be driving on the right side of the roadway and it takes a little getting used to so goo luck and keep your eyes on the road. |

You need a license to drive a car in the Usa and a licence to drive a car in The United Kingdom. |

yes, you have to take another test in the USA to be able to drive legally. The UK driving test are different then the US ones. but its pretty easy. good luck. =]
