YOUR PASSPORT TO OVERSEAS DRIVING
- AN International Driving Permit is a special driving license that
allows motorist to drive vehicles in other countries. If you have
an international driving permit, this proves that you have a
valid driving licence issued by a relevant authority in your
home country. If you are traveling abroad and wish to drive in
another country, you will very likely require an international
driving permit. AAM, Malaysia’s leading motoring organisation,
can help you by issuing an IDP, if you are planning to drive
while visiting another country.
