Everything you need to pass the Florida written knowledge test — exam format, passing score, permit requirements and the local rules examiners focus on.
Important Florida rules
Headlights with wipers
Whenever windshield wipers run continuously, low-beam headlights are required by law.
TLSAE requirement
First-time drivers must finish the 4-hour Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course before the permit test.
Move Over law
Change lanes or slow to 20 mph below the limit for stopped emergency, sanitation, utility and disabled vehicles.
Hurricane and flood driving
Never drive through standing water — Florida's flat drainage means depth is deceptive, and 12 inches can float a car.
- 15 after completing the TLSAE course
- 50 questions — 40 road rules and 10 road signs
- 80% — 40 of 50
How to study for the Florida exam
- The Florida exam splits road signs into its own scored section — do not skip sign drills.
- Expect several questions on DUI penalties and implied consent.
- Practice questions about school zones and pedestrian right of way; Florida weights them heavily.
