You are 17 with a Florida driver license. What curfew window does state law place on you?
-
A.
No curfew applies once you turn 17
-
B.
Between 11 pm and 6 am on any night
-
C.
Only on weekends, from midnight until dawn
-
D.
Between 1 am and 5 am on any night Correct
The answer is "Between 1 am and 5 am on any night"
Florida law says a 17-year-old licensed driver may not drive between 1 am and 5 am unless driving to or from work or accompanied by a licensed driver 21 or older. Drivers who learned the 16-year-old window when they first got licensed and never registered the shift at 17 pick B, keeping the wider 11 pm to 6 am span instead of the tighter 1 am to 5 am rule that takes over at the birthday.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. No curfew applies once you turn 17
A narrower curfew still applies at 17; the restriction only lifts at 18. Confuses the age when the curfew tightens (17) with the age when it ends (18), reading the birthday as the point where all minor restrictions clear.
B. Between 11 pm and 6 am on any night
The 11 pm to 6 am window is Florida's 16-year-old curfew, not the 17-year-old rule. Applies the window learned at age 16 to age 17, missing that Florida narrows the overnight span at the birthday.
C. Only on weekends, from midnight until dawn
Florida's curfew runs every night from 1 am to 5 am, not just on weekends. Applies a weekend-only teen curfew from other states rather than Florida's every-night rule.
