DRIVING SCHOOL PROVIDERS
Traffic Law Substance
Abuse Education Course
Providers
If you have never held —or do not
have in your possession—
a driver
license in any state, country, or
jurisdiction, you must complete a
Traffic Law and Substance Abuse
Education course before applying
for a license in the state of Florida.
The driver
education courses offered
by some county school boards may
substitute for this requirement.
Please contact your local school
board for further information. If
you are under 21 years old and
receive a notice of suspension for
driving with a BAL of .02 to .05,
you must
complete a Traffic Law and
Substance Abuse Education course
in order to reinstate your driver
license on a hardship basis.
Third Party Driver
License Exams
Driver license exams (Class E
Knowledge examination) are now
available
from providers approved
by DHSMV. The online exam
is available to students under 18
years of age (with parent/guardian
certification). Students of all ages
may take the exams with a provider
in an in-person setting.
Advanced Driver
Improvement Courses
If your Florida driver license was
suspended
for points, as a habitual
traffic offender (non-DUI), or by
court order, you must complete
an advanced driver improvement
course.* If you hold a Florida
driver
license and receive a ticket
for a moving violation in another
state, that state may withhold
adjudication if you complete a
DHSMV-approved advanced driver
improvement course.
Basic Driver
Improvement Course
You
must complete a Traffic
Collision Avoidance course* if you
want to retain your driver license in
the following circumstances:
• You were a driver in a crash and
are found at fault and someone
was transported to the hospital.
• You
had two crashes in a two-
year period, which resulted in
property damage greater than
$500.
• You were convicted of:
◆
running a red light.
◆
passing a school bus when it
displayed a stopped signal.
◆
racing on highway.
◆
reckless driving.
