3. If you need glasses or contacts to pass the vision test, what does Florida require?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: You must wear the corrective lenses whenever you drive

6. Is there a legal "speeding buffer" that lets you drive up to 10 MPH over the limit?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: No — the buffer is a myth and you can be cited for any speed over the limit
The "speeding buffer" is a myth. You are not allowed to drive over the limit and may be cited for speeding at any amount over it.
7. Passing a stopped school bus that is displaying its stop signal will add how many points to your driver license?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Four points
Passing a stopped school bus is a moving violation that adds four points to your license, plus a minimum $265 fine (or $465 if you pass on the side where children load and unload).
8. A traffic signal is completely out of order and no officer is directing traffic. What should you do?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Treat the intersection as a four-way stop
If a signal is dark and no law enforcement is present, treat the intersection as a four-way stop.
9. What color are regulatory signs that control traffic, set limits, or give commands (other than stop, yield, and prohibitions)?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: White with black letters
Regulatory signs such as speed limits are white with black letters. They control traffic and are enforceable by law.
10. When you complete a right turn, which lane should you turn into?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: The right lane of the roadway you are entering
Finish a right turn in the right lane of the road you enter. Staying in the proper lane through the turn prevents crashes with vehicles beside you.
11. In a DUI crash involving death or serious injury, can a blood test be taken without your consent?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Yes — you are required to take a blood test with or without consent
In DUI cases involving death or serious injury, you are required to take a blood test with or without your consent; it may even be drawn while you are unconscious.
12. While correcting a skid, which way should you turn your front tires?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: In the direction you want the vehicle to go
Steer in the direction of the skid — turn the front tires the way you want the vehicle to go — while keeping off the brakes if you can.
13. An applicant under 18 who has never held a license must sign the application in front of a driver license agent or notary along with whom?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A parent or legal guardian, who takes responsibility for their driving
A minor's application must be signed by a parent or legal guardian, who accepts responsibility for the minor's driving. If they later withdraw consent, the license is canceled.
14. What proof of insurance must you keep with you while driving?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A Florida Insurance ID Card (or electronic proof on a smartphone)
Always carry proof of insurance — the Florida Insurance ID Card or electronic proof on a smartphone. You may receive a citation if you cannot show it when stopped.
15. Which statement best describes how right-of-way works?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: The law says who must yield — right-of-way is given, not taken
Right-of-way rules say who must yield. It is something you give to others, never something you simply take — every driver must do all they can to avoid a crash.
16. Driving too slowly in Florida is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Also against the law if you block or delay normal, safe traffic
Driving so slowly that you block or delay traffic moving at normal, safe speeds is against the law. Drive with the flow within the limit, and keep right if slower.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: The truck's large blind spots in front, behind, and on both sides
The "No Zone" refers to a commercial truck's large blind spots in front, behind, and on both sides. If you cannot see the driver, the driver cannot see you.
18. At a red light with no NO TURN ON RED sign, when may you turn right?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: After coming to a complete stop and yielding, when the way is clear
You may turn right on red only after a full stop, and only when there is no NO TURN ON RED sign and the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians.
19. A diamond-shaped sign showing an animal (such as a deer) means:
Show answer & explanation

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: Yield to any bicyclist in the bike lane before crossing it
When crossing a bike lane to turn, yield to bicyclists and make your turn behind them. Also yield to pedestrians who may be crossing your path.
