How this list was compiled: From the Florida Administrative Code, chapter 15A-1, read 2026-10-05 on the Department of State's rules site: the chapter list at https://flrules.org/gateway/ChapterHome.asp?Chapter=15A-1; rule 15A-1.015, Driving Ability, Demonstration: Scoring Criteria (History: New 11-20-75, Formerly 15A-1.15, Amended 12-22-92, 6-3-14), https://flrules.org/gateway/RuleNo.asp?title=DRIVER%20LICENSES&ID=15A-1.015; rule 15A-1.014, Driving Exam Administration (same history); and the form that rule 15A-1.015 incorporates by reference, Record of Driving Examination, HSMV 71110 (10/13), https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-04156. Taken from the form, as facts: the names of its eighteen scored items, the point value printed beside FAIR and BAD in each, how many columns an item has, and one or two of the listed faults for each item, in our own words. Taken from the rules: the line of 31 or more penalty points, the events that terminate a test, the equipment inspected before the drive, seat belts, proof of insurance and the license plate. Ours, not the state's: the layout (the form's boxes and check lines are not reproduced), reading fair and bad as one value for each item or column, the practice readings of the terminating events, typing 1 for a vehicle line in order, and the totals. The form's lists of disqualifying actions are named in the key and are not rows. The rule's third subsection, on repeated failed attempts, is left out. This is not form HSMV 71110, it is not the record an examiner fills in and it cannot be handed in as one; nobody at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles has seen it. Licence: own work

How is the Florida practical driving test scored?

With penalty points. Rule 15A-1.015 says an applicant who scores 31 or more penalty points on the Class E driving exam will not qualify. The state's record gives each item a fair value and a bad value, such as 5 and 10 for straight-in parking.

What ends a Florida driving test early?
