You can risk getting arrested and having your car towed away for fraudulent documents... People don't try to fool the cops, they'll always win, sometimes aknowledging what you did and a bit of a sense of humor may get you out of that ticket, or at least get you a no points ticket.

When you use them, they link them to your passport or visa (depending on whether or not the country of destination requires a visa), and my sister (before we moved back to the US), used her South African drivers license in PA through to NY when she used rental cars.

More to the point, these are the requirements/rules for an international driving permit.

An International Driving Permit (IDP) translates information contained on your driver's license into 10 languages so that officials in foreign countries are able to interpret your license. An IDP supplements a valid government-issued license--it does not serve as a replacement for a license. If you are stopped by law enforcement, you will most likely be asked to produce both your IDP and your official driver's license. The United States does NOT issue International Driving Permits to foreign visitors, so you will need to obtain this document before traveling to the U.S.

And lastly (of which the person who got an IDP is breaking the law)

The U.S. government has issued warnings about Internet vendors of worthless international driver's licenses/permits. It is important to educate yourself about the dangers of these costly and illegal operations. See International Driver's License Warning from Federal Trade Commission.
