If driving in the US, you can use your RP driver's license. Most states allow 90 days. Some states allow continued use unless you plan to stay for a year or longer and thus you will need to get a US driver's license. I am not sure but there are states that only allow 30 days for foreign driver's license to be used within state limits.

To get a US driver's license, you would need a Social Security number and a valid visa (F1, H1, L1, etc.) plus proof of residence/billing.

No need to get International Driver's Permit?

IIRC, you were US based diba? Did you get a driver's license? Was the exam difficult?

Thanks. Yes my Auntie told me that my Uncle has a hard time driving already, they are in their 80s, so I'll be their driver.

I plan to get a DL as well. Hope I pass

Yes, no need for International Drivers Permit if you have a valid RP license. You need to get drivers insurance if you want to drive a vehicle.

Yes, I did get a driver’s license when I worked in the US. Mandatory among all states are a written test and a road test. In some states like New York, you need to attend a 2-session road safety course (classroom) after passing the written test and before scheduling a road test.

Madali lang yung written test, free naman yung state DMV manual for you to study. By the way, during a road test, disobeying a traffic rule will be grounds for failure (not yielding, failure to halt on a stop sign, speeding, etc.).
