[T3] UK driving in US.

["matthew jones" <m@t3fj.freeserve.co.uk>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I lived in Virginia for 6 months and owned and insured a superbeetle while
out there. The VA driving test was pitifully easy to pass, then you can get
a proper licence. You could probably do it in a hire car. Can't remember how
long all the paperwork took, but it was done in person at the DMV office, so
may have been quick. A T3 lister local to your starting point should be able
to tell you.
An international driving licence should do you for a short period.
Phone the AA / RAC / whatever for advice, if you have membership.
I had no problem getting insurance.
(This was 12 years ago)

Would you ship the car back ? I should have. It was a '75 FI beetle with
factory sunroof....

Matt.
