Clearwater Florida Licensing Procedures and Clearwater Florida Online Driver Education
So, you and your family have decided that you're finally ready to begin the process of applying for your Clearwater Florida learner's permit or first Clearwater Florida driver license. Clearwater Florida has a graduated driver license program for Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida driving license goes as smoothly as possible. So let's not waste any more time!
Clearwater Florida Instructional Permit or Clearwater Florida Learner Permit
When you turn 15, you're finally ready to apply for a Clearwater Florida instructional permit, otherwise known as a Clearwater Florida learner's permit. In order to apply for your Clearwater 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 Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida learner's permit! For the first three months of your Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida learner's permit for one year (using it responsibly, of course), you're ready to apply for your Clearwater Florida intermediate license.
Your First Clearwater Florida Driver's License
In order to apply for your first Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida learner's license
At the Clearwater Florida DMV, you'll present your Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida Driver Handbook!
- However, if you've taken an approved Clearwater Florida driver education course, you can skip the dreaded road test altogether!
If you survive, then congratulations--you've just earned your first Clearwater Florida driver license!
Clearwater Florida Teen Driver License Restrictions and Penalties
As we said above, the purpose of the Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida learner's license or Clearwater Florida driver's license.
Clearwater Florida Permit Restrictions - With a Clearwater 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.
Clearwater Florida Intermediate License Restrictions - Clearwater 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:

But cheer up: when you turn 18, all of these restrictions are removed!
Clearwater Florida Auto Insurance Clearwater Florida Financial Responsibility Laws
Sadly, traffic accidents are a fact of life, for young and experienced drivers alike. Any vehicle registered in Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida learner's permit or Clearwater Florida intermediate license will be suspended.
Clearwater Florida Drunk Driving, Cell Phone, and Text Messaging Laws
As a new Clearwater Florida driver, it's important for you to learn the Clearwater Florida drunk driving, cell phone, and text messaging laws. In Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida DUI (0.08), you will face the following penalties:
- Your Clearwater 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 Clearwater Florida DUI convictions will result in increased jail time, community service, fines, and Clearwater Florida license suspension or even Clearwater Florida license revocation.
Currently, there is no law banning cell phone use in Clearwater Florida, though in 2010 there are two laws making their way through the state legislature which, if passed, will ban text messaging while driving.
