Florida's New Teen Driver Requirement: The 6‑Hour DETS Course.

Confused About Florida's New Teen Driver Law? We Make It Simple.

Starting August 1, 2025, every first-time driver under 18 years old must complete the 6-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course before applying for a learner's permit.
This replaces the old 4-hour “Drug and Alcohol Course” (TLSAE) for teens - it is not an additional requirement. If you're under 18, the DETS course is the only course you need.
Here at DrugAndAlcoholCourse.com, we make it fast, easy, and stress-free to meet this new requirement. Our course is 100% online, approved by the Florida DHSMV, and designed with teens in mind - engaging, mobile-friendly, and built to help you succeed.
