Does he have it in writing from the insurance company that they agree to him driving on a UK licence? If there is an agreement at all I suspect its a verbal agreement which will mean Jack S**t if he is involved in an accident.

One of the reasons that NJ auto insurance is the most expensive in the US is because of people driving around without drivers licence/insurance.

Surely, if the insurance company is aware and do provide insurance based on this driving license then they would not be able to refuse to pay out on it. To be honest, I was shocked when he told me he'd never got a US license, I think he will eventually and if he was aware that he was required to then he might. When I first got insurance it was the insurance company that told me I needed to get an NJ license within a year so I'm not sure what company he's insured with that is allowing this.

You can drive sixty days on an out of state license, in PA. get the physical and apply for a PA license, they take your out of state license away when they give you the PA one. I imagine you could keep a foreign one.

A friend of mine was caught going fast through a speed trap but they let him go because they didn't know how to write up a UK license.
