Florida law

4 questions on Florida’s own driver fitness rules

These differ from the rules that hold nationally — they are the ones that catch out drivers who studied another state’s handbook.

  1. 1. In Florida, it is unlawful for a person under 21 to drive with a blood-alcohol or breath-alcohol level of:

    • 0.02 or higher
    • B0.01 or higher
    • C0.08 or higher
    • D0.05 or higher

    Answer: 0.02 or higher. Florida Statutes §322.2616 makes it unlawful for a person under 21 who has a blood-alcohol or breath-alcohol level of 0.02 or higher to drive or be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle.

  2. 2. Florida's DUI blood-alcohol threshold for adult drivers is:

    • A0.02 or more
    • B0.05 or more
    • 0.08 or more
    • D0.10 or more

    Answer: 0.08 or more. Florida Statutes §316.193 defines unlawful blood-alcohol as 0.08 or more grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood.

  3. 3. Florida may issue a learner's driver license to a person who is at least:

    • A17 years of age
    • B14 years of age
    • 15 years of age
    • D16 years of age

    Answer: 15 years of age. Florida Statutes §322.1615 and §322.05 allow a learner's driver license beginning at age 15 for applicants who meet the examination and education requirements.

  4. 4. Before a Florida 16- or 17-year-old may be licensed, a parent or guardian must certify at least how many hours of behind-the-wheel experience, including night hours?

    • 50 hours, with not less than 10 at night
    • B40 hours, with 8 at night
    • C20 hours, with 5 at night
    • D30 hours, with 5 at night

    Answer: 50 hours, with not less than 10 at night. Florida Statutes §322.05(3) requires certification of not less than 50 hours of behind-the-wheel experience, of which not less than 10 hours must be at night.

Driver fitness rules that hold in every state

A sample of the national driver fitness bank. All 10 are in the practice run, combined with the Florida items above for 14 questions in total.

  1. 1. Under state Implied Consent laws, by accepting a driver license you automatically agree to:

    • AProvide transportation for emergency personnel
    • BCarry full commercial insurance
    • CPay all traffic fines immediately
    • Submit to a chemical test for alcohol or drugs if lawfully requested

    Answer: Submit to a chemical test for alcohol or drugs if lawfully requested. Implied Consent means that by driving on public roads, you have given consent to breath, blood, or urine testing if arrested for suspected DUI.

  2. 2. What actually reduces the alcohol level in a person's body?

    • AA cold shower
    • Time
    • CStrong coffee
    • DExercise

    Answer: Time. The body removes alcohol at a steady rate. Nothing speeds it up, so only waiting long enough restores sober judgment.

  3. 3. Prescription and over-the-counter medicines can affect driving by:

    • Causing drowsiness, blurred vision, or slowed reactions
    • BHaving no effect if legally prescribed
    • COnly affecting drivers over 65
    • DImproving concentration

    Answer: Causing drowsiness, blurred vision, or slowed reactions. Legality does not mean safety. Check labels and pharmacist advice for warnings about operating machinery.
