[quote=Anonymous]As I understand it an "international license" is just a translation of the country driver's license.  So it confirms that she has one, not that she has a lot of practice.  However, one thing to understand is that the process of obtaining a driver's license can be far more rigorous than in the US (which varies from state to state). In Germany, for example, it is more time consuming and expensive than in the US and requires more demonstration of skill.  Here in VA, it's basically driving around a block, stopping, signaling.  The best you can do to verify  experience is get someone who lives in a fairly heavily trafficked area who drives to work or school everyday.  (Her story regarding her daily life should match her story regarding driving regularity and traffic.  We had drivers from Germany, Austria, England, Poland, all were fine.  Most Scandinavians and Swiss are also good drivers in winter, for obvious reasons.  Just be sure they are used to a reasonable amount of traffic and have appropriate parameters around how they may use the car.[/quote]
