  1. 1. In Florida, what is the youngest age at which you can get a learner's license?

  2. 2. When you drive with a Florida learner's license, who must be with you?

    Show the answer

    Answer: D. A licensed driver age 21 or older, in the front seat beside you

    A learner always needs a licensed driver who is at least 21, sitting in the passenger seat right next to the driver. Never drive alone on a learner's license.

  3. 3. A 16-year-old has held a Florida learner's license for 12 months and now wants a driver license. How many moving violation convictions may they have from that first year?

    Show the answer

    Answer: B. None, except one violation where adjudication was withheld

    Drivers under 18 need a clean first year: no moving violation convictions in the 12 months after the learner's license was issued. The one allowance is a single violation where adjudication was withheld.

  4. 4. A 16-year-old with a learner's license wants a full Class E license. Unless they turn 18 first, how long must they hold the learner's license?

    Show the answer

    Answer: C. 12 months

    Drivers under 18 must keep the learner's license for 12 months, or until their 18th birthday if that comes sooner, before they can get a driver license.

  5. 5. Before a teen gets a Florida driver license, an adult must certify 50 hours of practice driving. How many of those hours must be at night?

    Show the answer

    Answer: C. 10 hours

    Of the 50 supervised hours, at least 10 have to be driven at night. A parent, guardian or responsible adult 21 or older signs off on them.

  6. 6. You reach an intersection where the traffic light is out of order and no officer is directing traffic. What should you do?

    Show the answer

    Answer: A. Treat it as a four-way stop

    When a signal is dark or broken and there is no officer, act as if every direction has a stop sign. Stop fully, then take your turn when it is safe.

  7. 7. You are found at fault in a crash, and it is your second crash in two years. What does Florida law require of you?

    Show the answer

    Answer: D. Attend a Traffic Collision Avoidance Course

    Florida requires a Traffic Collision Avoidance Course after a second crash within two years, and also after an at-fault crash in which someone was hurt and taken for medical treatment.

  8. 8. A 17-year-old driver piles up 6 points on their record within 12 months. What happens?

    Show the answer

    Answer: B. Their driving is limited to business needs for a year

    Drivers under 18 who reach 6 points in 12 months are automatically limited to business-purpose driving for a year. Each extra point adds 90 more days to that limit.

    Source: Chapter 3, Point System: Mandatory Restriction for Minors, p. 29

  9. 9. Under Florida's zero tolerance rule, what is the lowest alcohol level at which a driver under 21 automatically loses their license for six months?

    Show the answer

    Answer: A. .02

    For drivers under 21, even a small amount counts: .02 or higher means an automatic six-month suspension. The safe choice is not to drink at all before driving.

    Source: Chapter 3, Driving Under the Influence: Zero Tolerance, p. 26

  10. 10. An adult driver is arrested for DUI. What is the lowest breath or blood alcohol level at which their license is suspended right at the time of arrest?

    Show the answer

    Answer: C. .08

    A reading of .08 or more triggers an administrative suspension when you are arrested. Refusing the test leads to a suspension too.

The Class E Knowledge Exam has 50 multiple-choice questions, and you need 40 right (80 percent) to pass; applicants under 18 may take it online through an approved provider. Source.

You can get a Florida learner's license at 15 after finishing the Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course and passing the vision and knowledge exams. A driver under 18 must hold it for 12 months (or until turning 18, if sooner) and log at least 50 supervised hours, 10 of them at night. Source.

The questions come from the Official Florida Driver License Handbook (Class E) (rev. 08/2023 (PDF metadata title "Florida Class E Driver License Handbook 2023"), read 2026-10-12), which is what the real test is written from. Read it alongside these questions: every answer above names the section it comes from.

Florida rules worth knowing before the test

  • The Florida knowledge exam is 50 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws, safe driving and traffic controls. You need at least 40 correct to pass. Source
  • With a learner's license you must have a licensed driver aged 21 or older in the front passenger seat. You may drive only in daylight for the first three months, and after that until 10 p.m. Source
  • Licensed 16-year-olds may not drive from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., and licensed 17-year-olds may not drive from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., unless they are going to or from work or have a licensed driver 21 or older with them. Source
  • Florida has zero tolerance for drinking drivers under 21: an alcohol level of .02 or more means an automatic six-month suspension. For adults, a level of .08 or more leads to a suspension at the time of arrest. Source
  • Florida's standard speed limits, unless signs say otherwise, are 20 mph in school zones, 30 mph in city, business and residential areas, 55 mph on other streets and highways, and 70 mph on limited access highways. Source
  • The Move Over Law: when a police car, emergency vehicle, tow truck, utility or sanitation truck, or a disabled car with warning lights is stopped by the road, leave the lane next to it, or slow to 20 mph under the limit if you cannot move over. Source
  • A driver under 18 who gets 6 or more points in 12 months gets a one-year "Business Purposes Only" restriction (work, school, church, medical trips and similar). For all drivers, 12 points in 12 months brings a 30-day suspension. Source

Signs, markings and signals

Every state’s test asks about road signs, which follow one national standard. Practise them with pictures on the road signs test.
