Way back in the sixties when I was learning to drive I learned of a body of law known as the "International Reciprocity Pact".
This agreement is the one that basically says, if it is this way in my jurisdiction, then your jurisdiction must accept it as legal.
Since the internet has come to be, I have been searching high and low to find out more.
But with search engines being what they are, it is royally painfully difficult to find anything online about it.
As I educated about this law, it is why we only require one driver's license and one license plate.
You're driving down the road in another state and you get pulled over. The officer says your windows are tinted and the state does not allow tinted windows.
The ticket will be dismissed in court because the home state rules.
If anyone has an online source of the IRP, I would greatly appreciate knowing where to find it.
Even a book name would help.
BTW, this law also sets the standards for traffic signs across the globe.
So that when you're in a foreign country, you should already know what the signs mean even if you don't know the lingo.
