Florida practice test, lanes and passing
Private practice site. Chapbook is not a government agency and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any department of motor vehicles, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, or any state or county agency. These are practice tests written by us to help you study. They are not the official test, and passing here does not give you a licence, a permit, a card, or a certificate of any kind.
Lane law with a Florida edge: the left lane duty in section 316.081(3), which bars sitting in the far left lane when a faster vehicle is overtaking and you know or should know it. Passing rules, lane changes, and following too closely fill out the set, each answer pinned to its subsection, because in this chapter the neighbouring subsection usually states a different rule for a different road.
Each topic set draws up to 20 questions from that topic in the Florida bank and grades against our practice target of 80 percent. The target is our study goal, not FLHSMV's pass mark.

Five sample questions, answers hidden until you tap
A shortcut across a pedestrian safety zone island would save you a minute. May you drive through it?
✓ Correct answer: No; driving through a safety zone is prohibited
A safety zone is road space reserved for people on foot, marked off for exactly that purpose. Its emptiness at the moment you arrive does not return it to traffic. Florida Statutes section 316.1355.

You are driving in the left lane of a four-lane road, passing a line of trucks, when a faster car arrives behind you. The left lane rule in this moment says what?
✓ Correct answer: You may finish overtaking; actively passing is an exception to the duty to clear the far left lane
The exception fits the situation: a driver in the act of overtaking may stay until the pass is done, then the ordinary duty to move right returns. Florida Statutes section 316.081(3).

On a three lane road with two-way traffic, a driver cruises in the centre lane for a quarter of a mile. She isn't overtaking anyone, isn't preparing for a left turn, and no signs allocate the lane to her direction. Lawful?
✓ Correct answer: No; the centre lane may be used only for overtaking when clear, preparing for a left turn, or a signed allocation to traffic going her way
The centre lane isn't a third travel lane. Subsection (2) lists the only uses, and cruising in it for a quarter of a mile fits none of them. Florida Statutes section 316.089(2).

On a one-way street with three lanes, a driver travels in the leftmost lane for several blocks without passing anyone. Is the left side of the road barred to her?
✓ Correct answer: No; a one-way road is one of the standing exceptions to the right half rule
Driving on the right half is the default, and a one-way street is one of its written exceptions: the whole width is one direction, so the leftmost lane is ordinary travel space. Florida Statutes section 316.081(1).
