What is the minimum age for a driver to have passenger(s) without restriction on their Class E license?

To have passengers without restrictions on a Class E driver's license in Florida, the minimum age is 18 years old. This regulation ensures that drivers have reached a maturity level that typically comes with experience and responsibility necessary to handle the complexities of driving with passengers. Before reaching this age, drivers are usually subject to certain restrictions intended to promote safety, such as limits on the number and age of passengers. At 18, individuals are legally recognized as adults, which aligns with the state's goal to encourage safer driving practices while also promoting responsible behavior among new drivers.
