若干年前UTCSSA给DPS写了一封信，依据认为中国不是reciprocity agreement协定的签
署国，因此不能不能在德州合法开车，而另一个叫做ROC的国家才可以。这个说法被广
为引用，并且流传于中文网络。我昨晚进行了考证，认为此说法实为误解。
德州法律 Texas Administrative Code 15.91 就international reciprocity 进行
了明文规定。
International reciprocity. International reciprocity in driver licensing
between a state in the United States and another nation is determined, first
, by international agreements between the United States and other countries,
and, second, in the absence of any international agreement, by individual
state laws. The Department of Public Safety complies with all driver license
reciprocal agreements. As of March, 1972, the 1949 World Convention on
International Road Traffic was in force in the following countries:
说的很明白，如果驾驶员来自一个与美国签署了双边国际协定（主要是49年维也纳协议
）的国家，由所签协定决定他们驾照在texas的international reciprocity，这个code
在后面有实施细则，来自这些国家的驾驶员，持有本国驾照加IDP（国际驾照），可以
在德州合法开一年车，这条规定在网络上广为人知，txdmv的网站也有。 第二，如果没
有国际双边协定，由有关州法律说了算
由此，所在国与德州政府有 reciprocity agreement，并不是在德州合法开车的必要条
件。没有任何证据表明，凭国内驾照不能在德州开车。事实上德州DPS的网站说的很明
白，来自外州和外国的驾驶员，凭其驾照可在德州合法开车3个月
An individual can legally drive with a valid, unexpired driver license from
another state or country for up to 90 days after moving to Texas.

Thank you for giving the Department the opportunity to respond to your email
inquiry.
Your father can drive in Texas with his license from China for up to ninety
days, however, if he has an International license he can drive in Texas for
up to one year. He must have his Chinese driver license when he drives in
Texas at all times.
I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact

你说的我也知道，其实dps的工作人员，以及警察根本搞不清楚这些东西。即使你在美
国任何地方合法开车，也可以给你citation。可能连法官都搞不清楚

发帖数: 1841 | 6 没有说不可以开的，不等于就默认可以开了啊。其实拿中国驾照开车有个speedy
ticket
都是小事。关键如果有个fatal accident,到时这些摸凌两可的条款，看得不是你自己
的interpretation,而是jurors的理解了。 |
