There are some basic driving rules to be aware of that can be found in the Florida Driver’s handbook. These rules include:
- Any driver over the age of 16 must have a license.
- Road signs, traffic signals, and pavement markings.
- Speed limits as well as parking instructions.
- Bad driving habits.
- Vehicle requirements, such as two braking systems, functioning lights, a horn, mirrors, and directional signals.
Knowing the basics of driving in Florida is only the beginning. Here are a few unique laws to be aware of:
Texting as a Secondary Offense
In October 2013 a law was passed that made texting a secondary driving offense. This means that if you’re pulled over for speeding or some other traffic violation, the officer may also ticket you for texting if you’re caught. The secondary offense carries a $30 fine plus court costs. If you’re caught texting and driving again within five years of the first offense, the penalty is $60 and court costs.
Move Over Law
The Move Over Law was passed in 2002 and states that drivers must move to the left lane when passing emergency vehicles that are stopped in the shoulder. This law includes police officers, tow trucks, and other emergency responders. This law is unique in that is goes against the law that all cars must drive on the right half of the roadway. With our online courses, including our drug and alcohol course you’ll learn the importance of being aware of emergency vehicles and how to navigate through such situations.
