Florida Learner Permit Questions and Answers

With all the laws, rules, classes, and tests you must take there are many questions about how to get your learners permit and when and where you can drive with a Florida learners permit.


The DMV Test

Before anyone (regardless of age) can get their first drivers license or learner permit in Florida they must pass the DMV Test. Before you can take the DMV test you must complete the DATA course, which is the Drug, Alcohol, Traffic Awareness class.

The DMV test is comprised of 40 questions. 20 of the questions address road signs and 20 of the questions address road rules. You must get at least 15 answers correct in each section.

Testing at Local DMV office

To take the DMV test at your local DMV office it is best to use the Florida DMV online appointment system and make an appointment. You should arrive at least 15 minuts before your appointment and be prepared to spend at least two hours at the DMV office.


Taking the DMV test Online

In June 2005 the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles approved an online version of the DMV test. To qualify for this test you must take your DATA course online with a traffic school that also offers the DMV test online. It is not possible to take just the DMV test online.
