Can a 17 year old drive to school and work on a permit in Florida?

Actually, it's illegal to operate a motor vehicle in violation of your permit restrictions in any state. This is per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). In many states, and I believe Florida is one of them is a felony. Your car is impounded without the possibility of release, even if you offer money. In other words, confiscated. This is based on my training and experience as when I was in law enforcement we were trained to loosen the safety harness of our gun upon seeing a permit before asking the passenger to prove they had a license. If you're thinking about driving alone DON'T DO IT!! It's not worth the consequences should you be stopped by police.

Answer

On the back of the lic. it says we can drive to work and from school. And in the book it also says so.

Answer

I think that you should be able to, because if you can drive to work than why can't you drive to school. If you have a job after school than you need your car to take from school to work.

Answer

No it doesn't work like that... Those are for those who have received their licenses and are those ages... I figured this out after much thought so don't even risk this...

When you turn 17, you'll get a little more freedom, and be allowed to drive alone between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m., unless driving to or from work or accompanied by a licensed driver who's 21 or older.
