I want to drive down to see cowman sometime, and for the plowday, I was wondering if any of you knew what licence you need to drive in the states? Is a g2 enough or do you need a Full G? Thanks for any Info.

Wath anywere you drive in this country most drivers are bad . AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GOOD INSURANCE CARRY AT LEAST $ 300,000 in liability accidents are not cheap in this country to many lawyers not saying your are going to crash but better safe than sorry. And watch out for the young females they stop for greenlights and run red lights

In Kansas a valid license from another country is also valid in Kansas. I'm pretty sure that the other states would also recognize a valid license from Canada. I know I have driven all over Canada with a Kansas license with no problem.

I have no idea what a G or G2 license is, but in Kansas it would have the same restrictions as it would in Canada.

Hope this helps.

The G1 is when you need someone that has had a licence for 4 or more years to drive beside you, you cant drive inbetween midnight and 5am, drive on major highways, or have any alcohol in your system, G2-you can drive at anytime day and night, You can drive on the major highways, But cant have any alcohol. G-is when your alowed the legal limit of alcohol in your system.

Sounds like Michigan's graduated license program. I'm a Driver Ed. teacher, and advise all my students to contact the secretary of state in any other states they intend to drive in, to see if that state honors Michigan's license. In Michigan, the level one license allows driving with parent or guardian, or their designated driver, over 21 years of age. Second level license, at age 16 allows driving without parents, but has a night curfew. Third level gives full privileges, at age 17.

Ray: Sounds as though the systems are similar, but then we are neighbors. Down here in SW ON we see a lot more MI drivers than any other Canadian province drivers. I think on average MI drivers are more polite than ON drivers.

Fred: I think what Farmallkid is refering to, is here in Canada we now have what I guess you would call a graduated entry for young drivers getting a licence. I haven't been that young for awhile, so I don't really know the details. I think it takes them 5 years. Each year without infractions or accidents they gain points towards a full licence. He is probably subject to some restrictions, things like driving at night, certain highways, etc. Mitch is the guy that should be telling us how it works.

I think people who have lost their licence must go through the same process. Seems like a sensible sounding program, I guess only time will tell if it's working.

I would think farmallkid (Mitch) if he were crossing into the US would probably have to carry a copy of his restrictions and would be subject to the same restrictions stateside as he is at home. That is the case with commercial licences, for trucking.

Sounds like great system. Farmallkid, be careful if you come through Minneapolis. The drivers here are terrible.

Hugh,

I know that you have driven your share of miles, but I would take New Jersey or Boston over Mpls. It is the worst of both worlds - young bucks (and does) and Norwegians. You can't tell what they will do.

Drivers everywhere haven't gotten bad. We have gotten old and become those "old foggies" that we complained about when we were young! (At least that's what I tell my self when I cuss at them) My nickel Dick Davis
