DEVELOPING: The Florida Highway Patrol will not be enforcing the state law requiring Canadian drivers to carry an international driving permit along with their drivers licence.

For now, only a valid driver?s licence will be required, according a press release from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Thursday afternoon.

?(The) requirement may violate the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic (1949), an international treaty to which the United States is a signatory,? said the release.

?Therefore, the Florida Highway Patrol will defer enforcement of violations of the amended statutory section until a final determination of the alignment of the amendment with the treaty can be made.?
