or Canada shall be exempt only upon showing a satisfactory understanding of official
traffic-control devices. A nonresident may only drive the class or classes of vehicles
in this Commonwealth for which the person is licensed to drive in the person's home
state or country subject to all restrictions contained on the license.
(4) Any person on active duty in the armed forces of the United States who has in their
immediate possession a valid driver's license issued in a foreign country by the armed
