08-19-2013, 08:50 AMYou can use a Chinese Lic to drive or ride in Australia...though a Chinese bike Lic if translated correctly would have a capacity limit due to the size bikes limited in China...China was the only country to not sign the International Permit agreement back in the 50's I believe ..weird as it is ..I am a motorcycle Trainer and Testing Officer here yet cannot legally ride in China when I travel every couple of years..and an International permit is merely a translation of your current Lic into the language you are visiting !

Guys, hope someone knows/can clarify: I have a chinese driving license and planning to ride across US this autumn. What steps do I need to make to get an IDL or IDP? Do I need one?

The question you need to ask yourself ,can you get a IDL or a IDP from with in China!! from what I can read these are not available !! So I would think a Chinese DL is ok to use in the USA . What I can say for sure it's ok to drive all over the EU ,Thailand and Loas , I hope this clears up a few points
Have a good day"Arguing on the Internet is like running in the Special Olympics, even if you win you're still retarded"

Mixed stuff on the net. Some people say you need to translate your chinese DL into english and you good to go, some say if your chinese DL has some english writing on it ( mine does, but for example, class C1E in other parts of the world allows you to drive a truck up to 7,5 tons and my chinese DL is for car + bike) you are good to go. I guess its gonna be just nailing it without having all documents clean, just like I did Kunming - Chengdu and across India. Let me know if anyone has more recent info/experience with this.

A Chinese license should not count for the slightest thing outside China. The Chinese license is corrupt from top to bottom on every level. The same goes for India and many other countries. This corruption means that drivers with those licenses cannot be trusted to drive safely on roads with decent driving standards. The fact that Chinese driving licenses are accepted by other countries to use to drive for various periods of time from 3 months up to a year in other countries or converted to another national license is a huge oversight by these countries, hopefully over time these loopholes can be closed or these corrupt developing countries increase their driving standards and issue and accept IDPs.

True that, but my only concern is how will cops on the other side of the pond react to chinese DL.
