Tip Of The Day | Teen Driving | Ormond Beach Car Accident Attorney

With Florida's Graduated Drivers Licensing Law, teens must be at least 15 years old to apply for a Learner’s License for driving in Florida. They must have completed a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Course, pass a written test, vision test, hearing test and a signed Parental Consent Form.

With a Learner's License, a teen can only drive during daylight hours during the first three months and until 10 p.m. thereafter, always with a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and occupies the front passenger seat.

To earn an Intermediate License, teens must be at least 16 years old and have held a Learner’s License for at least one year without any traffic convictions. Once teens obtain an Intermediate License their driving privileges are based on their age.

• 16 years old: Driving allowed between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. All other times must be accompanied by a licensed driver at least 21 years old, or be traveling to or from work.
• 17 years old: Driving allowed between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m. All other times must be accompanied by a licensed driver at least 21 years old, or be traveling to or from work.

When teens turn 18, restrictions are removed from their license. Then they have a full privilege license.
