Review all 20 questions with answers

  1. A broken white line separates your lane from the lane beside it. What does that marking allow when traffic conditions are safe?

    Correct answer: A lane change after checking traffic and signaling

    Broken white lines separate traffic moving in the same direction. The marking permits crossing, but the driver must still make a safe lane change.

  2. Red reflectors on the edge lines face you as you enter a highway ramp. What should you recognize?

    Correct answer: You are entering the ramp in the wrong direction

    Red reflectors facing the driver warn of wrong-way travel. Pull over immediately and correct direction when it is safe.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook rev. 08/2023, printed page 69, physical PDF page 77: Wrong-way reflectors ↗

  3. A drawbridge gate is still rising after an opening. There appears to be room for your car beneath it. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Wait until the gate is fully raised and the controls permit travel

    Do not drive under or around a drawbridge gate while it is opening or closing. Wait for a permitted, clear crossing.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook rev. 08/2023, printed page 55, physical PDF page 63: Drawbridge gates ↗

  4. You reach the entrance to a roundabout while a car is circulating toward your entry point. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Yield and enter behind it when a safe gap opens

    Traffic already circulating has priority. Watch the entry crosswalk as well as the circulating lane.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook rev. 08/2023, printed page 63, physical PDF page 71: Entering a roundabout ↗

  5. A car ahead is waiting to turn left, but the only way around it is onto the shoulder outside the main travel lane. May you pass that way?

    Correct answer: No; wait for a lawful, safe path within the roadway

    Passing on the right must be safe and must not leave the pavement or main-traveled part of the roadway.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook rev. 08/2023, printed page 67, physical PDF page 75: Passing on the right; current F.S. 316.084 (2) also checked ↗

  6. A Florida teenager has completed the required education and exams. What is the youngest age at which a learner's license may be issued?

    Correct answer: 15

    The minimum learner-license age is 15. Completing a course earlier does not lower the licensing age.

    Source: 2026 Florida Statutes §322.1615(1) ↗

  7. In 2026, a Florida high-school student under 18 is starting the first-time learner-license process. Which education course is the current standard requirement?

    Correct answer: The approved six-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety course

    Florida's current teen education path uses the approved six-hour DETS course. Applicants should use the current approved-course information when enrolling.

    Source: Florida Department of Education, Driver Education, current opening requirement; checked September 12, 2026 ↗

  8. An owner leaves an ordinary Florida-registered passenger car parked for a month. Its registration remains active, and no statutory exemption applies. May the owner let the required insurance lapse just because the car is parked?

    Correct answer: No; required security must remain continuous during the registration period

    Required security ordinarily remains in effect throughout the registration period. Not driving the registered car does not by itself end that requirement.

    Source: 2026 Florida Statutes §627.733(1)(a) ↗

  9. A parent drives a three-year-old child in an ordinary passenger car in Florida. Which restraint meets the child's age category in the state law?

    Correct answer: A properly used, federally approved separate carrier or integrated child seat

    For children through age three, Florida specifies a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child seat. The restraint must be approved and properly used.

    Source: 2026 Florida Statutes §316.613(1)(a)1 ↗

  10. On a highway with two lanes in your direction, a disabled car is stopped on the shoulder with hazard lights flashing. The adjacent lane is clear and you can safely change lanes. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Vacate the lane closest to the stopped car

    Florida's Move Over Law includes disabled vehicles displaying hazard or warning lights. Where safe, vacate the closest lane on a road with multiple lanes in your direction.

    Source: 2026 Florida Statutes §316.126(1)(b), subparagraph 1 ↗

  11. You sit in a different car and cannot comfortably see the mirrors. When should you adjust your seat and mirrors?

    Correct answer: Before starting the trip, while the car is safely stationary

    Set up your seating position and mirrors before driving so you can reach the controls and observe traffic without leaning around.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook, rev.08/2023, printed page 59 (physical PDF page 67), Before starting ↗

  12. Heavy rain begins while you are following another car with a four-second gap. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Increase the following interval beyond the fair-weather minimum

    Wet pavement and reduced visibility reduce your safety margin. Extra following space gives more time to see and respond.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook, rev.08/2023, printed page 61 (physical PDF page 69), Extra space in bad weather ↗

  13. Floodwater covers the road ahead and you cannot judge its depth. What should you do?

    Correct answer: Turn around and choose another route

    You cannot reliably judge the depth or force of moving water. Do not drive into the flooded section.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook, rev.08/2023, printed page 72 (physical PDF page 80), Flooded roads ↗

  14. An automatic car keeps accelerating after you lift your foot because the pedal is stuck. What should you do to disconnect engine power from the wheels?

    Correct answer: Shift into neutral, then brake and steer to a safe stopping place

    Neutral disconnects the driving force. Keep control, use the brakes to slow, and move to a safe place to stop.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook, rev.08/2023, printed page 79 (physical PDF page 87), Stuck accelerator ↗

  15. A driver watches the road and holds the wheel but is absorbed in a stressful conversation. What risk remains?

    Correct answer: Cognitive distraction can reduce attention to driving

    Attention can leave the driving task even when the eyes and hands appear properly placed. Mental focus matters as well as physical control.

    Source: Official Florida Driver License Handbook, rev.08/2023, printed page 34 (physical PDF page 42), Mental distraction ↗

  16. You are driving through a Florida business district where no different speed limit has been established. In favorable conditions, what is the general maximum speed?

    Correct answer: 30 mph

    The statewide default for a business or residence district is 30 mph. A different lawfully established limit and unsafe conditions can require a lower speed.

    Source: Florida Statutes (2026), section 316.183(1)–(2): reasonable speed and default district limit ↗

  17. For a driver age 21 or older in an ordinary car, which blood-alcohol concentration meets Florida's alcohol-level criterion for DUI without separate proof of impaired normal faculties?

    Correct answer: 0.08%

    A blood-alcohol level of 0.08 grams per 100 milliliters of blood, commonly expressed as 0.08%, meets this DUI criterion. Impairment can also establish DUI below that level.

    Source: Florida Statutes (2026), section 316.193(1)(a)–(b): impaired faculties or blood-alcohol level of 0.08 or more ↗

  18. An adult makes a voice-only call outside a designated school crossing, school zone or work zone, without reading or manually entering messages. Which statement accurately distinguishes Florida's two device laws?

    Correct answer: They do not create a blanket statewide ban on handheld voice calls

    The statewide texting law and the location-specific handheld rule have different scopes. This is not a recommendation to call while driving: other safety duties still apply, and distraction can cause a crash.

    Source: Florida Statutes (2026), section 316.305(3)(a), (3)(b)5–6; read with section 316.306(3)(a)1: nonvoice-message restriction versus designated-zone handheld restriction ↗

  19. On a clear road, you see the pictured white sign. What does its large number state?

    Correct answer: A posted speed limit of 50 mph

    SPEED LIMIT identifies a regulatory limit, not a route number or yellow advisory-speed warning. The number is not a promise that this speed is safe in every condition.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD 2009 Figure 2B-3 — R2-1 Speed limit sign; national sign meaning ↗

  20. You see this warning before the next bridge. What is the concern it identifies?

    Correct answer: Restricted usable width at the bridge

    NARROW BRIDGE warns about the width available at the structure. The sign does not by itself establish one-way traffic or identify a drawbridge.

    Source: FHWA MUTCD 2009 Figure 2C-5 — W5-2 Narrow bridge sign; national sign meaning ↗

How old must I be to get a Florida learner's license?

Florida's minimum age for a learner's license is 15. Applicants under 18 need a parent or guardian's consent. A learner must drive with a licensed driver age 21 or older in the front passenger seat, so the credential does not permit solo driving.
