Under Florida law, what happens to the driver license of an under-18 minor if the parent or legal guardian who signed the consent form later withdraws their consent?
-
A.
The license remains valid until the minor turns 18
-
B.
The license is canceled once the signer withdraws consent Correct
-
C.
The license carries a restriction to daylight driving only
-
D.
The license is suspended for 30 days
The answer is "The license is canceled once the signer withdraws consent"
When the signer writes to FLHSMV withdrawing responsibility, the minor's license is canceled outright, not paused for a set window or allowed to run out at adulthood. Choice D pulls drivers who read every license consequence as a fixed suspension term, missing that the manual sets cancellation, not a timed pause, as the outcome here.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. The license remains valid until the minor turns 18
Treats parental consent as a term that expires at 18, though the manual describes it as an active responsibility the signer can withdraw at any time. This answer borrows the tiered provisional schedules other states use for minor drivers, which lift restrictions at 18, rather than reading Florida's rule on its own terms.
C. The license carries a restriction to daylight driving only
Applies a daylight-only restriction as the outcome, rather than the cancellation the manual states. This answer reaches for restriction code G from the restriction-code table on page 10, treating the medical daylight-only limit as a general penalty for any license trouble a minor faces.
D. The license is suspended for 30 days
Reads the outcome as a timed suspension rather than the outright cancellation the manual states. This answer reaches for a 30-day suspension window as the default guess for any license consequence a minor faces, in place of the cancellation the parental-consent rule actually assigns.
