Question

Name the written test a potential driver must pass and list the minimum required score to earn a learner’s license

Answer 1

Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws ­— basically, laws for drivers who are minors — allow young drivers to safely gain driving experience under lower-risk conditions before obtaining full driving privileges.  These laws outline limits and restrictions for new drivers ages 15, 16 and 17. Florida’s GDL laws are designed to help teens gradually — and safely — build their skills and experience behind the wheel. It is important for teens and their parents to understand these laws and obey them.REQUIREMENTS FOR MINORS GETTING LEARNER’S LICENSEMust be at least 15 years oldIf under 18 years old, must have a signed/notarized Parental Consent Form (step-parents may not sign unless they have legally adopted the minor child)Proof of Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course completionHave taken vision and hearing examsPassed Class E Knowledge TestPrepare for the exam by studying the Official Florida Driver License Handbook50 multiple-choice questions about traffic laws and traffic signs; 40 correct answers (80%) to passREQUIREMENTS FOR MINORS GETTING OPERATOR’S LICENSEMust be at least 16 years oldHold Learner’s license for 12 months or age 18 (whichever comes first)Have driven at least 50 hours with Learner’s license (10 of which were at night)Provide signed Certification of Minor Driving Experience FormNO moving violation convictions for one year since learner’s date of issuance (OR may have one moving violation as long as adjudication was withheld)Passed Driving Skills TestThe vehicle used for the driving test must have a current registration and be insured.Note: The minor must provide documents needed to establish proof of identity, proof of social security number and proof of residential address.
