This thread seems to have been hijacked by the insurance crowd but the IDP thing is the main question. I've been going to SXM for YEARS and would never consider having to get an IDP EVERY year...

I would assume many here have been stopped by the police at checkpoints over the years...has ANYONE had an issue with using your regular license. Last year I was stopped in southern France (never stopped in SXM) and they just checked my MA license and sent me on my way...

Any non-theoretical, non-insurance related experiences from those here???
