How to Pass the Florida Road Test on Your First Try

The Florida road test is short, but nerves and a few avoidable mistakes catch out a lot of first-timers. Here is how to give yourself the best shot.

Know what is graded

Examiners watch your stops, turns, lane changes, signaling, speed control, and how you check your mirrors and blind spots. Smooth, deliberate driving beats fast driving every time.

Common point-losers

• Rolling stops instead of full stops at stop signs
• Forgetting to signal early enough before a turn or lane change
• Not checking blind spots before moving over
• Drifting over the speed limit on quiet streets

Warm up first

A few minutes behind the wheel before the examiner gets in makes a real difference. Our Car Rental and Rush packages include a short warm-up so the car and the route feel familiar.
