The 6 sample questions as a list
  1. What is the minimum age for a Florida learner's license?

    A) 14
    B) 15
    C) 15½
    D) 16
    B) 15

    At 15 you may take the vision and knowledge exams once the required driver-education course is done (since 2025, the 6-hour DETS course). The handbook still says TLSAE; since July 1, 2025, the law requires a driver-education course instead.
    Permit & Provisional License
  2. Which phone use is against Florida law for every driver?

    A) Texting while driving
    B) Talking on a handheld phone
    C) Using a hands-free system
    D) Using a navigation app
    A) Texting while driving

    Texting while driving is illegal statewide; handheld use is also banned in school and active work zones.
    Phones & Distraction
  3. At night, from when until when does Florida law require headlights?

    A) 30 min after sunset to sunrise
    B) From 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
    C) Between sunset and sunrise
    D) Only when it is fully dark
    C) Between sunset and sunrise

    Parking lights alone never satisfy the rule; the headlights themselves must be on.
    Headlights & Passing
  4. How close to a fire hydrant may you park in Florida?

    A) No closer than 15 feet
    B) No closer than 10 feet
    C) No closer than 20 feet
    D) No closer than 30 feet
    A) No closer than 15 feet

    The gap keeps the hydrant clear for fire crews to reach and connect their hoses.
    Parking
  5. Where does the Florida handbook say never to make a U-turn or three-point turn?

    A) On any residential street, day or night
    B) On curves, hills, highways, or where signs forbid it
    C) At any intersection, even with a green turn arrow
    D) Anywhere inside the limits of a city
    B) On curves, hills, highways, or where signs forbid it

    Never make one on a curve or hill, on the highway, or where a sign forbids U-turns. A three-point turn is only for a street too narrow to U-turn when going around the block is not an option.
    Turns & Crossings
  6. Who must wear a safety belt under Florida law?

    A) Everyone in front, plus anyone under 18
    B) The driver and front-seat passenger only
    C) The driver alone, not passengers
    D) Everyone aged 18 or over, in any seat
    A) Everyone in front, plus anyone under 18

    The driver, all front-seat passengers and every passenger under 18 must be belted. The driver is cited when a passenger under 18 is unrestrained; adults are cited for themselves.
