Florida DMV permit practice test

As of October 25, 2026, the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles gives a Class E Knowledge Exam of 50 multiple-choice questions on traffic laws and traffic signs, and passing takes 80 percent, or 40 correct answers.

Florida issues a learner's license from age 15, and an applicant under 18 also needs a Parental Consent Form that is signed and notarized.

FLHSMV charges $48 for an original Class E license, a fee that includes the learner's license; a tax collector office may add a $6.25 service fee (per flhsmv.gov, checked on Oct 25, 2026).

Free Florida practice test: 10 questions

OneTryPass wrote these questions from the Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023). Pick an answer to see if you got it; each explanation names the part of the handbook it comes from.

  1. Getting your permit

    Question 1. A 17-year-old Florida driver collects 6 points on their record within 12 months. What happens?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. The license is automatically restricted to business purposes only for one year

    Florida automatically restricts any driver under 18 who reaches 6 or more points in a 12-month period to driving for business purposes only, for one year. Each additional point stretches the restriction by 90 days.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 3: Your Driving Privilege › Point System (p. 29)

  2. Speed and following distance

    Question 2. You are on a Florida limited access highway posted at 70 mph. What is the minimum speed?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. 50 mph

    Where the posted limit is 70 mph, the Florida minimum is 50 mph. Driving so slowly that you hold up normal traffic is also against Florida law, so keep right when you are slower than the flow.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 7: Driving Safety › Speed Limits (p. 68)

  3. Right of way

    Question 3. On a two-lane road posted at 55 mph, a tow truck is stopped on the shoulder with its warning lights flashing. How fast may you pass it?

    Show answer

    Answer: D. 35 mph

    On a two-lane road, Florida's Move Over Law requires slowing to 20 mph below the posted limit, so 35 mph here. Where the limit is 20 mph or less, you must slow to 5 mph.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 7: Driving Safety › Move Over Law (p. 65)

  4. Sharing the road

    Question 4. A school bus is stopped with its stop signal out on the other side of a highway divided by an unpaved median at least five feet wide. You are going the opposite direction. What must you do?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. You do not have to stop, but drive with caution

    A raised barrier or an unpaved median at least five feet wide means opposite-direction traffic in Florida does not have to stop for the bus. Painted lines do not count as a barrier, and traffic behind the bus always stops.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 10: Sharing the Road › School Buses (p. 89)

  5. Speed and following distance

    Question 5. In good weather and light traffic, what is the minimum following distance the Florida handbook calls for?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. Four seconds

    Florida drivers should keep at least four seconds behind the vehicle ahead in favorable conditions, counting from a fixed marker such as a sign. Add more time in rain, at night, or when pulling a trailer.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 7: Driving Safety › Following Distances (p. 61)

  6. Night driving

    Question 6. You are driving behind another vehicle at night with your high beams on. Within what distance of it must you switch to low beams?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. 300 feet

    Florida law bars high beams within 300 feet of a vehicle you are following and within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle. Headlights must be on from sunset to sunrise.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 8: Special Driving Situations › Night Driving (p. 73)

  7. Alcohol and drugs

    Question 7. Police stop a 19-year-old Florida driver whose breath alcohol level is .02. What is the consequence?

    Show answer

    Answer: D. An automatic six-month suspension of the driving privilege

    Under Florida's zero tolerance rule, a driver under 21 with a BAL of .02 or higher automatically loses the driving privilege for six months. At .05 or higher, the driver must also attend a substance abuse course.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 3: Your Driving Privilege › Zero Tolerance (p. 26)

  8. Parking

    Question 8. Florida law bans parking within how many feet of a railroad crossing?

    Show answer

    Answer: C. 50 feet

    Do not park within 50 feet of a railroad crossing in Florida. Other limits include 15 feet from a fire hydrant, 20 feet from an intersection and 30 feet from a stop sign or traffic signal.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 7: Driving Safety › It's Against the Law to Park (p. 66)

  9. Signs and signals

    Question 9. You notice red reflectors facing you on the lane lines. What do they mean?

    Show answer

    Answer: A. You are on the wrong side of the road

    Red reflectors facing you on lane lines mean you are facing traffic head-on. Get into the proper lane right away; red reflectors on the edge lines mean you are going the wrong way on a ramp.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 7: Driving Safety › Red Reflectors on Lane Lines (p. 69)

  10. Turns and lanes

    Question 10. In a Florida multi-lane roundabout, which lane do you choose to make a U-turn?

    Show answer

    Answer: B. The left lane

    Choose your lane before entering: the right lane for going straight or turning right, the left lane for going straight, turning left or making a U-turn. Do not change lanes inside the roundabout.

    From Official Florida Driver License Handbook (rev. 08/2023) · Chapter 7: Driving Safety › Roundabouts (p. 63)

What are the Florida learner's license rules and teen driving curfews?

For the first three months, a learner drives only in daylight; after that, until 10 p.m. A licensed driver 21 or older rides along every time.

The learner's license is held for 12 months or until the 18th birthday, with 50 supervised hours logged, 10 of them at night, and no moving violation convictions for that year (one is allowed if adjudication was withheld).

Once licensed, a 16-year-old may drive from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and a 17-year-old from 5 a.m. to 1 a.m. Outside those hours, only trips to or from work or rides with a licensed driver 21 or older are allowed.
