Hahaha, what a Killjoy!!
OK, the (Ultra Worse Case Scenario) and AZB I've seen it happen for lesser offenses as fare-beating and shoplifting at Macy's, the dreaded "going thru the system", which consists of being arrested and processed at the precint and then transported to the criminal court building, while you wait in a "Pen" with 20 to 40 other guys, waiting to be arraigned, which can take as long as 2 and in rare cases during the holidays 3 days. Of course you'll enjoy the company of murderers, crooks and other degenerates while you dine on Bologna sandwiches and fruit drink.
Hahaha, screw the Embassy, he better have the consulate's number on speed dial:laugh: , cops will arrest you for anything, including "cracking wise" on them. But seriously, just carry proof on you, speak politely and you'll be on your way.
in any case it wont be as bad as if you got into an accident in the DR and were a US citizen!!!!!!!
just think about it....you are in a fatal car accident( your are not dead!!)... they cant assertain who is at fault at first... they have to be able to KNOW WHO YOU ARE... and maybe the cop cant read spanish...and cant verify if you have a PHONY DR license...the country is pretty corrupt..NO?
it just makes sense that they would not accept it .....but there are lots of things that dont make sense...even in america
tip:
dont drive like you do in the DR!!
I really have to CHECK myself, when I get back...I want to run every light and pass on the right on a one lane road...go as fast as I want.....
PS: azb....you dont have MY phone number do you?????

Aftab, yes you can drive on your dominican license here. Just have your Dominican Passport with you as well. NY DMV does issue temporary visitor licenses with that clearly stated on them as well as what date they expire. But if only here for a week or so you don't need one. Of course if you don't break any traffic laws you won't be bothered by the police. If Badpiece isn't available for that emergency call, I might be if a few Presidentes come back my way.
Let me think about this for a minute????, A Pakistani with a Dominican license driving around NY chasing Dominican women all over the city stating he really is an American but lives in DR. Be careful buddy hope you don't end up in Guantanamo bay Cuba as an enemy combatant.
NO he has only been declared an enemy combatant in.......
CANADA!!!!!!!!!:bunny: :bunny: :bunny:
right ladies??? ha ha ha
bob
actually you don't need to drive to chase dominican women in NYC because most of them don't drive. they're on public transportation..additionally most dominican women can be found in only a few places in NYC, where there's money !!
same situation, different country, higher price....

Yea, then you'll get your racial profiling, and they send you back to Pakistan. As long as you drive like you should in NYC and not the DR you should be alright.

Aftab, why ask the butcher when youi can stick your head up the cow?s ass, right?
I was in New York, rented a car from Avis, and they said "OF COURSE YOU CAN USE YOUR DOMINICAN DRIVERS LICENSE HERE! NO PROBLEM!"
Avis and Budget say the same thing in Florida and Texas. Avis wouldn?t hand their customers the keys to a $25,000 car if they hadn?t covered their asses, right? Invalid license = NO INSURANCE. No wonder some people are FORMER cops. They don?t know their axx from a hole in the ground.
I also DID talk to a cop there, and he said "OF COURSE YOU CAN, IF YOU ARE VISITING!"
Forget these xenophobes. A Dominican drivers license is just as good as that laminated piece of mierda from New York.

how about someone on a 6 month work visa?
can they drive in NY with their Dominican License????
I think it is a crap shoot....and the people who are supposed to know, dont. and the rental car companies are the same..maybe they THINK they are covered....just like a cop or a motor vehicle employee...they are SUPPOSED to know.

Foreigners driving in the US;
Foreign Visitors Driving in the U.S.: USA.gov
We are Australian citizens with Australian driving licen...?
Yahoo! Answers - which states allow non-citizen residents to obtain a driver's license?
For what it is worth the DR does not issue an IDL (International Drivers License) because they don't have such an item.

It is legal according to book but in practice depend on cop's education level and knowlege. i think best bet is printing the page from ny DMV web site and get international drive license from DR if it exist ( serve as translation of you dr license ) and take residencial card with you proving that you reside foreign country. If you cannot get international driver license, get your DR license translated and make possiblity for the cop to read. By the way, non resident cannot get drive license, you need to provide SSN, immgration status, proof residency in state which visitor do not have normally. That is reason to allow visitor to drive with the license from home country
