You are 16 and just received your Florida learner's license today. During what hours does state law allow you to drive?
-
A.
Any hours as long as a licensed adult rides along
-
B.
Only during daylight hours Correct
-
C.
Any hours until 10 pm
-
D.
Any hours except 11 pm to 6 am
The answer is "Only during daylight hours"
For the first three months after you receive a Florida learner's license as a minor, state law limits you to daylight hours with a licensed driver age 21 or older in the car. The 10 pm answer catches drivers who read the follow-on sentence as the day-one rule and skip past the three-month qualifier printed just ahead of it.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Any hours as long as a licensed adult rides along
Adult supervision does not replace the daylight rule; both requirements apply at the same time for the first three months. This answer treats the accompanied-by-a-licensed-driver requirement as an either/or that substitutes for the daylight limit, the way some state permit rules pair curfew with supervision.
C. Any hours until 10 pm
The 10 pm stretch applies only after three months of holding the permit, not on the day you receive it. This answer reads the follow-on 'after 3 months' sentence about the 10 pm cap as the day-one rule, skipping the three-month qualifier printed just ahead of it.
D. Any hours except 11 pm to 6 am
That window is Florida's curfew for a 16-year-old holding a driver license, not for a learner's permit holder. This answer picks the 11 pm to 6 am window from the next bullet on the page, applying a curfew written for 16-year-old licensed drivers to a brand-new permit.
