Never heard of this before (possibly because it appears to be aimed at "Americans"), but I always carry a valid IDP (International Driving Permit - need different ones for Brazil and Peru!), which is basically just a translation of the UK driving licence. You are allowed to drive for 6 months in most foreign countries on an UK licence.
Last year I presented both (IDP and UK licence) several times at police checkpoints, but most of the time they were more fascinated by an ageing Gringo riding alone!
