Although those who are 16 years old and older can drive alone once they have a driver’s license, young drivers in Florida are subject to curfews. These laws are intended to lower the risk of car accidents and encourage teen drivers to drive safely. Teens between the ages of 15 (learner’s permit) and 17 are subject to curfew laws.
For the first three months after receiving a learner’s license, drivers are only allowed to operate a vehicle in daylight hours. Drivers with a learner’s permit can drive until ten at night after having your license for three months. Learner’s permit holders are required to carry a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old with them at all times. Even if you are over 18, if you only have a learner’s driver license, you must have someone over 21 years of age in the front seat next to you.
Between 11 pm and 6 am, 16-year-olds with valid driver’s licenses are not allowed to operate a vehicle unless the driver is traveling to or from work or if another licensed driver who is at least 21 years old is present.
Between 1 am and 5 am, drivers must be at least 17 years old and have a valid driver’s license and must be accompanied by a driver who is at least 21 years old unless they are traveling to and from work.
