What is the minimum age required to obtain a Florida Class E driver's license?

To obtain a Florida Class E driver's license, an individual must be at least 16 years old. This is the age at which a person can apply for their first unrestricted driver's license after having held a learner's permit for a minimum period, typically having completed the necessary supervised driving hours and any required driver's education courses.

The law is designed to ensure that young drivers have adequate experience behind the wheel before driving independently. Starting the licensing process at 15 years old only allows for a learner's permit, which limits driving to certain conditions such as a licensed adult in the vehicle. Other ages mentioned in the options do not align with the legal requirements set by the state for acquiring a Class E license.
