Florida practice test, weather, night, and vehicle control
Private practice site. Chapbook is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of motor vehicles, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any state or county agency. These are practice tests written by us to help you study. They are not the official test, and passing here does not give you a licence, a permit, a card, or a certificate of any kind.
Lights and control, from the equipment and lamp sections: when lights are required, sunset to sunrise and in weather that hides a person or vehicle, which is the test section 316.217 actually states. There is no 1,000-foot rule in that section, whatever older question banks say. Tyre tread and the safety inspection of a vehicle's condition under section 316.215 close the set.
Each topic set draws up to 20 questions from that topic in the Florida bank and grades against our practice target of 80 percent. The target is our study goal, not FLHSMV's pass mark.

Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
A parent drives with a 4-year-old held on an adult's lap in the back seat. What does the child restraint law require instead?
✓ Correct answer: A child aged 5 or younger must ride in a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device, properly used
Five and under is the restraint age, and a lap is not a device. In a crash, the adult's body becomes the thing the child is thrown against. Florida Statutes section 316.613(1)(a).

Following another car at night, within what distance must your high beams be dimmed?
✓ Correct answer: 300 feet
Three hundred feet behind is the dimming line. It pairs with the 500-foot oncoming figure, and mixing the two up is the classic error this question exists to catch. Florida Statutes section 316.238.

A driver switches on the hazard flashers while driving through ordinary rain on a road posted at 45 mph, to be more visible. What does the flashing lights rule say about that?
✓ Correct answer: Flashers mark a turn or lane change, or a vehicle lawfully stopped or disabled; the one weather exception is extremely low visibility on a road posted at 55 mph or more, and ordinary rain at 45 mph fits neither
Flashers carry a meaning to the traffic behind: a turn, a lane change, or a vehicle stopped or disabled on the highway. The rule adds one weather exception, extremely low visibility on a road posted at 55 mph or higher. Ordinary rain below that speed leaves headlamps, not flashers, as the visibility tool. Florida Statutes section 316.2397(7).

An adult passenger rides unbelted in the back seat of a car. Under the seat belt law's own list, who inside a car must be belted?
✓ Correct answer: The driver and every front seat occupant, and every occupant under 18 in any seat; a rear-seat adult isn't on the section's list
The belt duty is written as a list: driver, front seat occupants, and everyone under 18 wherever they sit. An adult in the back seat is outside the list the section draws, whatever the safety advice says. Florida Statutes section 316.614(4).

In an active work zone with crews working, a driver holds a phone to her ear and talks while driving through. Hands-free equipment is fitted but unused. Lawful?
✓ Correct answer: No; the handheld bar covers active work zones as well as school zones, and the fitted hands-free kit doesn't help while the phone is in her hand
The zone rule names both settings: no handheld use of a wireless device in an active school zone or an active work zone. Holding the phone is the offence, whatever else the car is fitted with. Florida Statutes section 316.306.
