Driver's License Test Prep
Florida Practice Graduated Licensing

Who may certify the required 50 hours of supervised driving for an under-18 Florida driver license applicant?

  1. A.
    A certified driving-school instructor
  2. B.
    Any licensed driver who has ridden along for the hours
  3. C.
    Only a parent or legal guardian of the applicant
  4. D.
    A parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult at least 21 years old Correct
The Why

The answer is "A parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult at least 21 years old"

The manual allows a parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult at least 21 years old to certify the 50 hours. Choice C narrows it to parents and legal guardians and omits the responsible-adult-21-or-older option, the answer applicants default to when a parent handled every supervised drive and signs the paperwork at home.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. A certified driving-school instructor

This answer requires a certified instructor, a credential the manual never asks for on the 50-hour log; the manual asks for a parent, legal guardian, or responsible adult age 21 or older, not a certified instructor. It carries the certified-instructor role from the TLSAE driving-school course over to a document the manual keeps with parents, guardians, and adults age 21 or older.

B. Any licensed driver who has ridden along for the hours

This answer drops the age floor of 21 the manual attaches to the responsible-adult option. It assumes the licensed adult who rode along for the hours must also be the one authorized to sign for them.

C. Only a parent or legal guardian of the applicant

This answer drops the responsible-adult option the manual lists alongside parent and legal guardian. It names only the parent and guardian channels applicants fall back on when a parent handled every supervised drive.
