As others said, you need to check with the relevant country/state/province where you intend to drive. In Canada, for example, here are the rules for the provinces of Nova Scotia, British Columbia & Ontario. Basically no problem for 90 day visits for Nova Scotia & Ontario while British Columbia gives you a 6 month period.

If in doubt then the cost of the purchase of an IDP is only a minor, if very irritating, cost.
