Drug, Alcohol and Traffic Law Class for First Time Driver
Florida First Time Driver Class
Florida Safety Council Traffic School offers this class, which is required by the FL DHSMV, for all first time driver’s license applicants under Florida Statute 322.095. The curriculum has been approved by the State of Florida. We offer this class in both online and classroom formats.
If you have never held a regular driver license in any state, country, or jurisdiction, you must complete a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course before applying for a Learner’s license in the state of Florida. The driver education courses offered by some county school boards may substitute for this requirement. Please contact your local school board for further information. If you are under 21 years old and receive a notice of suspension for driving with a BAL of .02 to .05, you must complete a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education course in order to reinstate your driver license on a hardship basis.
