And this I guess was the cypherpunks post I was thinking about from Duncan below.
The only worries then would be if the insurance company would consider you insured in event of an accident with a non-US license. (Where that could a Canadian insurance company, or a US insurance company if you can persuade a US insurance company to issue you insurance with a non-US drivers license). Of course in my case I do not have a Canadian drivers license but I think those are simpler to get.
