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?

[Egan101]

Yes

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.).

Some states like Ca & countries like Jp won't recognize the AAP issued International Driving Permit which has a validity of 1 or 3yrs.
US driver's licensure exams are easy and practical. Just remember to fully stop on STOP signs, observe alternate turning courtesy, stay w/in speed limits, know how to react upon sight of school buses, park properly on inclines w/ the correct wheel turn on the curb, etc....you'll be fine. Oh, seatbelt is non-negotiable. And don't try to impress the examiner w/ your Ph Master's degree by driving like Russ Swift nor doing reverse w/ mirrors alone.[emoji4]

LTO license is valid in CA while you're visiting. The AAP issued International Driver's Permit is not.

Punta ka muna subic to practice.
Pag prinactice mo sa manila yang stop at intersection, bubusinahan ka lang ng todo.

Roundabout also practice mo.

It's allowed but you still need your home counry's DL with you. Especially for those citizens from non English speaking country.

Basically internetional license is just a translation for destisl of non english driver license.

Hehe.
Officer: do you know you are allowed to drive in here... You'll be spending the night in jail. Hands in the air.

In TX, nakapag drive narin ako and allowed.
Kaso since US is federal, iba iba rules per state kaya nilinaw ko lang din.

Sa IL ba? Where in IL?

Di masyado strict yung DMV ng IL. You can use your RP license there even for a year with no issue. Just make sure to get an insurance. Non negotiable yung drivers insurance if you’re driving a vehicle, makukulong ka kung wala nyan tapos nagmamaneho ka.

In IL interstates, you can do 65 on 55-limit or 75 on a 65-limit expressway without fear of being apprehended for speeding. Kung wala ka seatbelt, sigurado makakakuha ka ng traffic ticket.
