In this section, "Convention country" means a country which is a party to —
the Convention on Road Traffic concluded in Paris in 1926;
the Convention on Road Traffic concluded in Geneva in 1949; or
the Convention on Road Traffic concluded at Vienna in 1968.
The following persons who hold a domestic licence from a Convention country (not specified in section 27A) or from a prescribed country, or who hold an international driver's permit from such a country may, on the basis of that licence or permit, drive in the Islands for a period not exceeding twelve months —
a Caymanian;
a visitor; or
a new resident.
After the period of twelve months referred to in subsection (2), the person referred to under subsection (2) may drive only after passing a prescribed written test, upon which that person shall, without the need for a road test, be issued with a Caymanian driver's licence.
A person who does not hold a domestic licence from a Convention country or an international driver's permit from such a country shall not enjoy the concession granted under subsection (2) and shall be required to pass both a written and road test before that person can drive at all in the Islands, but need not hold a learner's licence in order to sit a road test.
Cabinet may by Order amend this section.
