Florida's Graduated Drivers Licensing (GDL) law has three
stages:

You must be at
least 15 years old to apply for a
Learner’s License. You must have completed a Traffic Law and
Substance Abuse Course, pass a written test, vision test, hearing
test, and have a signed Parental
Consent Form .
With a Learner's License, you can only drive during daylight hours
during the first three months and until 10 p.m. thereafter, ALWAYS
with a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and occupies
the front passenger seat.
Intermediate License
To earn an Intermediate
License, you must be at least 16 years old AND have held a Learner’s
License for at least one year without any traffic convictions. Once
you obtain an Intermediate License your driving privileges are based
on your age.
- 16 years old
Driving allowed between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m.
At all other times you must be accompanied by a licensed driver
at least 21 years old occupying the closest seat to your right,

privilege license.
