Tampa Florida Licensing Procedures and Tampa Florida Online Driver Education
So, you and your family have decided that you're finally ready to begin the process of applying for your Tampa Florida learner's permit or first Tampa Florida driver license. Tampa Florida has a graduated driver license program for Tampa Florida drivers ages 15-18 that will allow you to safely gain driving experience before "graduating" to full driving privileges. There are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Tampa Florida driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's not waste any more time!
Tampa Florida Instructional Permit or Tampa Florida Learner Permit
When you turn 15, you're finally ready to apply for a Tampa Florida instructional permit, otherwise known as a Tampa Florida learner's permit. In order to apply for your Tampa Florida learner's permit, you'll need to make sure you've done the following:
- At the DMV, provided proper identification
- And don't forget, proof of residential address
- Brought your social security card
- Taken a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Course
- Prepared for the practice test by studying the Tampa Florida driver handbook
- Gotten your parent or guardian to sign a consent form
At the DMV, once you present these materials you will then take a series of tests. There will be two 20-question multiple choice tests, one about traffic laws, the other about road signs. For both, get 15 questions correct and you pass!
There will also be vision and hearing tests. For the vision test, you must have 20/40 vision (with or without corrective lenses).
If you manage to survive all of that, then congratulations, you just earned your Tampa Florida learner's permit! For the first three months of your Tampa Florida learner's license, you an only drive until 10PM, and always with a licensed driver who is at least 21 and in the front passenger seat. After you've had your Tampa Florida learner's permit for one year (using it responsibly, of course), you're ready to apply for your Tampa Florida intermediate license.
Your First Tampa Florida Driver's License
In order to apply for your first Tampa Florida provisional driver license, you'll need the following:
- A parent or guardian who can certify that you have practiced at least 50 hours of driving (10 of which must be at night)
- To make sure that you have not had any traffic violations in the last year--otherwise, you'll have to wait!
- A Tampa Florida learner's license
At the Tampa Florida DMV, you'll present your Tampa Florida learner's license and the required forms. Then you'll have to take three tests:
- Vision test, in which you must have 20/40 vision (with or without glasses)
- Written test, in which you must score at least an 80%.
- The dreaded road test! We hope you've been studying your Tampa Florida Driver Handbook!
- However, if you've taken an approved Tampa Florida driver education course, you can skip the dreaded road test altogether!
If you survive, then congratulations--you've just earned your first Tampa Florida driver license!
Tampa Florida Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
As we said above, the purpose of the Tampa Florida driver license program is to provide you with a probationary period in which to safely develop your skills before graduating to full driving privileges. Thus, there are several restrictions you need to keep in mind regarding your Tampa Florida learner's license or Tampa Florida driver's license.
Tampa Florida Permit Restrictions - With a Tampa Florida learner's permit, you must observe the following restrictions:
- you can only drive until 10PM for the first three months
- you must always with a licensed driver who is at least 21 and in the front passenger seat.
Tampa Florida Intermediate License Restrictions - Tampa Florida intermediate license holders who are 16 years old can only drive between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. except in the following cases:
- when being accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and occupies the front passenger seat
- when traveling to or from work.
Tampa Florida intermediate license holders who are 17 years old can only drive between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m. except in the following cases:
- when being accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and occupies the front passenger seat

But cheer up: when you turn 18, all of these restrictions are removed!
Tampa Florida Auto Insurance Tampa Florida Financial Responsibility Laws
Sadly, traffic accidents are a fact of life, for young and experienced drivers alike. Any vehicle registered in Tampa Florida must be covered by liability insurance. The minimum coverage is $10,000 for personal injury and $10,000 for property damage.
If you are found to be driving without the minimum mandatory liability insurance, you could be fined. If you are involved in an accident and cannot provide proof of insurance, your Tampa Florida learner's permit or Tampa Florida intermediate license will be suspended.
Tampa Florida Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws
As a new Tampa Florida driver, it's important for you to learn the Tampa Florida drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws. In Tampa Florida, the standard of DUI is lower for teens, and you only need to have a blood alcohol level of 0.02 (instead of the 0.08 for adults) to be convicted.
Upon your first conviction of a Tampa Florida DUI (0.08), you will face the following penalties:
- Your Tampa Florida license will be suspended from 6 months to 1 year
- $500 to $1000 fine
- 50 hours of community service
- Vehicle impounding
- Jail sentence of 6 months maximum
- 100 hour of community service
- Ignition Interlock Device may be installed
- mandatory alcohol education program
As you can see, driving under the influence is not a habit you should want to develop. Further Tampa Florida DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Tampa Florida license suspension or even Tampa Florida license revocation.
Currently, there is no law banning cell phone use in Tampa Florida, though in 2010 there are two laws making their way through the state legislature which, if passed, will ban text messaging while driving.

Yes, however the specific documents you will need before taking the learner's permit test varies from state to state. Most likely, you will need to present a certificate of completion showing you have successfully completed a Tampa Florida driver education online course.

Generally, you’re allowed to take the Tampa Florida learners permit test as soon as you have the following documents: the Tampa Florida driver education certificate of completion and the Tampa Florida driver training certificate of enrollment. With this paperwork, you’re eligible to begin learning to drive and can go to the Tampa Florida licensing office in your area to take the Tampa Florida learners permit test. Again, this is a general rule and may not apply in Tampa Florida.
