What is the difference between the Florida drug and alcohol test and the driver license test?

The Florida drug and alcohol test is at the end of the learners permit course. This test contains 40 questions, is open book, and can be taken an unlimited number of times. The questions are on the material you studied in the learners permit course.

The driver license test (or Class E exam) is also 40 questions (20 on road rules and 20 on road signs). This test is NOT open book, and you must take it at a Florida driver license office.

You must pass both the drug and alcohol test AND the driver license test before you can apply for a Florida restricted permit. You must be at least 15 years of age to apply for your first Florida driver license (learner permit), but you can take the Florida drug and alcohol test and driver license test before your 15th birthday.

SPECIAL IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have a Florida driver license, or you have ever been licensed in another state or certain countries, you do not have to take the Florida learners permit course.
