What is the minimum age to obtain a full, unrestricted Florida driver’s license?

To obtain a full, unrestricted Florida driver’s license, an individual must be at least 18 years old. This age requirement ensures that the driver has reached a maturity level considered appropriate for handling the responsibilities that come with driving without restrictions. Prior to reaching this age, individuals can apply for a learner's permit at 15 and then a restricted license at 16, which allows them to drive under certain conditions, but full driving privileges are only granted once they turn 18. This approach is part of a graduated licensing system, which aims to reduce the risks associated with young or inexperienced drivers on Florida’s roads.
