If Mike's cousin has a valid driver license in Germany, can he legally help drive Mike to school?

A person with a valid driver’s license from another country, such as Germany, can typically drive in the United States as long as the license is in English or accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP). This means Mike's cousin is legally allowed to help drive him to school, assuming that he is complying with any local laws and regulations regarding foreign licenses.

While other options might imply restrictions or additional requirements, the law generally permits licensed drivers from other countries to operate a vehicle in the U.S. for a certain period. It is important for Mike's cousin to also understand any specific state laws that might apply, but in many cases, he can drive legally without needing to obtain a temporary license.
