Card 1 · White lane lines
Your lane and the lane next to you are separated by a dashed white line. When traffic allows, what may you do?
Change lanes after checking traffic and signaling
Change lanes without looking into the next lane
Drive against traffic to get around a slow vehicle
Stop in either lane while you pick a route
Show answer for card 1
Correct answer: Change lanes after checking traffic and signaling
A dashed white line divides lanes going the same way, and its gaps show that crossing is allowed. Florida still expects a signal, a mirror check and a glance over your shoulder, and a move only once the next lane has room.

Card 2 · Wrong-way reflectors
Red reflectors on the edge lines face you as you enter a highway ramp. What should you recognize?
You are entering the ramp in the wrong direction
You are approaching a normal toll collection point
You are entering a lane reserved for carpools
You are approaching a temporary reduced speed zone
Show answer for card 2
Correct answer: You are entering the ramp in the wrong direction

Card 3 · Drawbridge gates
A drawbridge gate is still rising after an opening. There appears to be room for your car beneath it. What should you do?
Wait until the gate is fully raised and the controls permit travel
Drive under slowly while watching the moving gate
Follow a larger vehicle through the opening
Proceed if no boat is visible from the roadway
Show answer for card 3
Correct answer: Wait until the gate is fully raised and the controls permit travel

Card 4 · Entering a roundabout
You reach the entrance to a roundabout while a car is circulating toward your entry point. What should you do?
Yield and enter behind it when a safe gap opens
Enter first because the circulating car can slow down
Stop inside the roundabout to wait for the car
Enter beside it in the same lane to keep traffic moving
Show answer for card 4
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.

Card 5 · Passing on the right
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?
No; wait for a lawful, safe path within the roadway
Yes; a left-turn signal makes the shoulder a passing lane
Yes; if your right wheels remain on pavement
Yes; if you first slow below 10 mph
Show answer for card 5
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.

Card 6 · Learner eligibility
A Florida teenager has completed the required education and exams. What is the youngest age at which a learner's license may be issued?
15
14
16
17
Show answer for card 6
Correct answer: 15
The minimum learner-license age is 15. Completing a course earlier does not lower the licensing age.
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?
The approved six-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety course
The former four-hour TLSAE course alone for every new teen applicant
A three-hour learner exam orientation
A four-hour Basic Driver Improvement course after a citation
Show answer for card 7
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.
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?
No; required security must remain continuous during the registration period
Yes, if the car is parked on private property
Yes, if the owner keeps the keys inside the house
Yes, for any period shorter than 90 days
Show answer for card 8
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.
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?
A properly used, federally approved separate carrier or integrated child seat
The adult lap belt alone
A cushion that raises the child to window height
An adult holding the child in the rear seat
Show answer for card 9
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.
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?
Vacate the lane closest to the stopped car
Stay in the closest lane because the car is not a police vehicle
Stop alongside the car in the travel lane
Maintain speed and use the horn as you pass
Show answer for card 10
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.
You sit in a different car and cannot comfortably see the mirrors. When should you adjust your seat and mirrors?
As soon as you reach a straight stretch of road
After the first lane change shows what you cannot see
Only if the previous driver was shorter than you
Before starting the trip, while the car is safely stationary
Show answer for card 11
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.

Card 12 · Extra space in bad weather
Heavy rain begins while you are following another car with a four-second gap. What should you do?
Keep exactly four seconds because weather does not affect stopping
Close the gap so its taillights are easier to follow
Match its speed even if you cannot see far enough ahead
Increase the following interval beyond the fair-weather minimum
Show answer for card 12
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.

Card 13 · Flooded roads
Floodwater covers the road ahead and you cannot judge its depth. What should you do?
Enter slowly to find out how deep it is
Follow a larger vehicle through its wake
Accelerate so momentum carries the car through
Turn around and choose another route
Show answer for card 13
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.

Card 14 · Stuck accelerator
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?
Shift into park while traveling at road speed
Press harder on the accelerator to release it
Turn sharply to reduce speed without braking
Shift into neutral, then brake and steer to a safe stopping place
Show answer for card 14
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.

Card 15 · Mental distraction
A driver watches the road and holds the wheel but is absorbed in a stressful conversation. What risk remains?
There is no distraction unless the driver looks away
There is no distraction unless both hands leave the wheel
A conversation automatically increases hazard awareness
Cognitive distraction can reduce attention to driving
Show answer for card 15
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.

Card 16 · Default district speed
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?
30 mph
20 mph
25 mph
35 mph
Show answer for card 16
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.
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?
0.08%
0.02%
0.04%
0.05%
Show answer for card 17
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.
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?
They do not create a blanket statewide ban on handheld voice calls
They prohibit every handheld voice call on every Florida road
They ban voice calls statewide but allow typed messages outside zones
They permit typed messages whenever no hands-free zone sign is visible
Show answer for card 18
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.
On a clear road, you see the pictured white sign. What does its large number state?
FHWA MUTCD / Standard Highway Signs — source and adaptations in /signs/LICENSES.md
A posted speed limit of 50 mph
A minimum required speed of 50 mph
An advisory curve speed of 50 mph
A route number, rather than a speed
Show answer for card 19
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.
