但是在NJ Driving Manual上只找到这么一句话:
internationaL driving permit (idp)
Visitors with a foreign driver license who travel to the United States should
carry an IDP or attach an acceptable English translation to their national driver
licenses. The IDPis translated into the official languages oftheUnited Nations
(including English) and is useful in traffic emergencies. Non-citizens must
obtain the IDP in their native country before traveling to theUnited States
查了下NYC-DMV的说明,你是不能考驾照的,因为必须要提供SSN(社安号).
另持中国驾照是可以短期开车的,但是保险可能会高,详情可以询问租车的地方或DMV

谢谢您帮我去查,另外看在NJ DMV网站上说valid驾照必须是来自于qualified countries, 而qualified countries的定义是:*Qualifying countries from United Nations Convention on Road Traffic, Geneva (1949), Convention on the Regulation of Inter-American Motor Vehicle Traffic, Washington, D.C., (1943) and Vienna Convention on Road Traffic (1968). 中国大陆并不在这个清单之内。
那就是说如果没事大家就都不管你用中国驾照在美国短期开车,一旦出事就麻烦了。
