I guess the same would apply if you were to drive your U.S. registered M5 up into Canada. Of course you still have to obey traffic laws.

However if the car is registered out of state or if you have an out of state DL and spend something like more than half the year in that state, you should have a DL in that state.

Legally I am not sure, I haven't looked up the law and read it, but that's my experience.
I am pretty sure you have to pay a hefty fine right there..also a friend got a ticket, paid it in Canada and eventually his license got suspended in Canada and he lost 6 demerit points..not good..
