In Florida there is a little known law regarding drivers licenses. Unfortunately it applies to everyone until the Florida Congress changes it. Here are the rules:
NonCommercial Driver Licenses
CLASS D: Any truck or truck tractor that has an actual weight, declared weight, or GVWR of 8,000 LBS or more but less than than 26,001 LBS. or is more than 80 inches wide.
A resident who holds a valid Florida chauffeur license may continue to operate vehicles for which a CLASS D driver license is required until the chauffeur license expires. This also includes farmers and emergency vehicle operators who are exempt.
CLASS E: Motor vehicles less than 8,000 LBS.
A resident who holds a valid Florida operator license may continue to operate vehicles for which a CLASS E driver license is required, until the operator license expires.
16 year olds cannot drive from 11 PM to 6 AM unless accompanied by 21 year old licensed driver or driving to and from work.
17 year olds cannot drive from 1 AM to 5 AM unless accompanied by 21 year old licensed driver or driving to and from work.
And, if you get stopped in a Dodge 2500HD like I did in the state of Florida the Trooper will ask to see you CLASS D Drivers License.
