Florida residents i have a question

so i just moved down here and my wife doesnt have her drivers license...she is 22 years old and what steps do i need to take to get her one...

 

I am pretty sure once you are over the age of 18 you don't need a learners permit definitely older than 21 no need. If she knows how to drive (the rules ect...) take her to a DMV and have her take the driving test. If not, go to the DMV and pick up a free book that teaches you the rules and regulations on Florida driving. I don't even think they make you do the 3pt. turn anymore. I will check though.

yep sounds right;D

 

last time I moved to a new state I just went to the DMV and turned in my old license and they gave me a new one.
Of course that was in the 90's and things have probably changed a bit since 9/11

 

yea she never held a drivers license but she knows how to drive lol
so does she need to schedule for that course or is she alright cause she is over 18 and doesnt need a permit?

You just show up, take a number and then when it is her turn, they will send an instructor out to ride with her and she has to perform the operations stated in my link above and show safety (ie: seat belt, checking mirrors, turn signals stuff like that). The instructor will have a clip board and they will mark her for things she does incorrectly. I think you can have 3 marks against you and still get your license.

 

Welcome to the wonderful world of Florida drivers..... lol!

 

Exactly, Florida hands out driver's licenses like candy at halloween. We have 90 yr olds that can't see behind the wheel bowling for pedestrians. Kinda scary.
