How old must you be to apply for a driver’s license in Florida?

  1. 18
  2. 21
  3. 16
  4. 25

Answer: C — 16

In Florida, the minimum age to apply for a driver's license is 16 years old. This is determined by the state's Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program, which allows teenagers to gradually gain driving experience before obtaining a full license. Option A, 18 years old, is the minimum age in some other states. Option B, 21 years old, is the minimum age to legally consume alcohol in Florida, but it is not related to driver's license eligibility. Option D, 25 years old, is the age at which car rental companies are generally willing to rent a car without additional fees, but it is also unrelated to driver's license eligibility.
