What is the Florida TLSAE course, and who is required to take it?
The Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course is a mandatory 4-hour program for all first-time driver's license applicants in Florida, regardless of age. It covers Florida traffic laws, the physiological effects of alcohol and illicit drugs, and safe driving techniques. Completing this course is a legal prerequisite to taking the Class E Knowledge Exam.
How do I avoid points on my Florida driver's license after a traffic ticket?
To avoid points, you must "elect" to attend a 4-hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course at the time you pay your fine to the Clerk of Court. Under Florida Law, completing an approved BDI course ensures that adjudication is withheld, meaning no points are added to your record, and your insurance provider cannot increase your rates or cancel your policy for that specific citation (unless it involved a crash where you were at fault).
What are the new 2025 driver education requirements for Florida teens?
As of August 1, 2025, Florida Statute 322.1615 requires all teens under 18 to complete a full FLHSMV-approved driver education course to obtain a learner�s license. This replaces the previous requirement that only mandated the TLSAE course. floridadetscourse.com provides 100% online courses that fulfill these updated state requirements, ensuring students are compliant with the latest Florida licensing laws.
What is the Florida DETS course, and is it mandatory for teens?
The Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course is a 6-hour comprehensive program now required by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) for all first-time drivers under the age of 18. Effective August 1, 2025, this course replaces the older 4-hour TLSAE requirement for minors. The DETS curriculum provides an in-depth focus on defensive driving, hazard anticipation, and Florida-specific traffic safety laws. Completing an approved online DETS course through floridadetscourse.com satisfies the state�s mandatory education requirement for obtaining a learner�s permit or a Class E driver�s license.
