Do you need to take the Florida Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) Course?

Are you interested in getting your Florida driver license? Are you applying for a driver license for the first time? If so, you will be interested in the Florida Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) Course. Why? Because state law requires you to take it to get your license.

Why does the state of Florida require all new drivers to take the Florida TLSAE Course? Simply put, the state is concerned about the safety of all drivers. They especially want to help new drivers become the smartest, safest drivers they can be - even before they receive their driver license. That’s why they have established driver education requirements. These help you to understand how your actions can impact your own safety as well as that of others.

Driver education courses are designed to help drivers learn how they can stay out of danger while on the road. And unfortunately, new drivers are often overconfident about their ability to drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Additionally, teen drivers between the ages of 15 and 17 need to complete this course before they can apply for a learner permit. If you are under 21 years old and have received a notice of suspension due to driving with a BAL of .02 to .05, you may need to complete a Florida TLSAE Course to get your license reinstated. 

What does the Florida Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) Course cover?

The Florida TLSAE Course is a four-hour course that has been designed for all first-time drivers. This course will help you to become a confident driver.

In the Florida TLSAE, you’ll learn how to drive defensively to avoid accidents and how to stay calm under different stressful roadway circumstances. The course covers the rules of highway safety and how to react to road signs and other signals. You’ll see how alcohol and drugs affect your body and mind as well as your ability to drive, while at the same time learning about what’s happening across the country to so many young people who aren’t careful about mixing alcohol or other drugs with driving.

You’ll review practical driving skills that will keep you safe in a variety of driving situations. For instance, recognizing Florida traffic signs helps you be prepared to react quickly in any situation. Knowing the state traffic laws will help you make the correct driving decisions. And you’ll learn what to do when you have to face hazards on the road or emergencies that may come up.

All this education will help you be as alert and aware as you can be on the road. That’s a plus since you’ll be less likely to get into accidents, which will protect you, your loved ones, and other drivers on the road.
