Florida assigns points to your license for traffic violations, and enough points in a set time leads to a suspension. Learn the thresholds and DUI rules below, then run the full fines and penalties practice test.
Practice questions
1. Accumulating how many points within 12 months brings a 30-day license suspension?
- A) 6 points
- B) 12 points
- C) 18 points
- D) 24 points
Correct answer: B — 12 points in 12 months. 18 points in 18 months and 24 points in 36 months carry longer suspensions.
2. For a driver 21 or older, the blood-alcohol level that legally means DUI in Florida is:
- A) 0.05%
- B) 0.08%
- C) 0.10%
- D) 0.12%
Correct answer: B — 0.08%. For drivers under 21, Florida's zero-tolerance limit is much lower, 0.02%.
3. Under Florida's implied-consent law, refusing a lawful breath test results in:
- A) Nothing — it is your right
- B) An automatic license suspension
- C) A written warning only
- D) A smaller fine
Correct answer: B — Automatic suspension. By driving in Florida you consent to testing; refusing triggers an automatic suspension of your driving privilege.
4. A conviction for passing a stopped school bus that is loading children will:
- A) Add points to your license and a fine
- B) Do nothing if no one was hurt
- C) Only apply to bus drivers
- D) Be waived for new drivers
Correct answer: A — Points and a fine. Passing a stopped school bus with flashing red lights is one of the most heavily penalized violations in Florida.
5. If you get a traffic ticket, one option is usually to:
- A) Ignore it
- B) Elect a basic driver-improvement course to avoid points, if eligible
- C) Transfer the ticket to another driver
- D) Pay double to remove it
Correct answer: B — Take a driver-improvement course. For many minor violations Florida lets eligible drivers take an approved course to keep points off their record.
Study tip
Memorize the point thresholds (12 / 18 / 24) and the two DUI numbers (0.08 adult, 0.02 under-21). Those five numbers cover most of the fines-and-penalties questions. Keep drilling the fines set.
