So You Wanna Be a Night Owl on Wheels? Not So Fast, Sunshine State Teen!
Ah, Florida. Land of sunshine, beaches, and...restrictions on when 16-year-olds can cruise around like they're in a bad spring break movie. But hey, don't worry! This isn't your parents nagging you about curfew (although they probably will anyway). This is about safety, my friend.

| How Late Can A 16 Year Old Drive In Florida |
The Nitty Gritty: 16 and Burning Rubber (Metaphorically, Please)
In the glorious state of Florida, if you're 16 and rocking a driver's license (congrats!), you're looking at sunup to sundown driving privileges. That means hitting the road between 6 am and 11 pm. Think of it as Cinderella's carriage, but with a much less dramatic exit.
Unless...
- Work Calls: You're exempt from the curfew if you're scooting between your job and home (gotta get that paper, right?).
- Adult Supervision: Got a licensed driver over 21 years old shotgun (not literally, please)? Then you can be a night owl on wheels as long as they're there.
Here's the not-so-fun part: Breaking this curfew could land you a ticket, which is a surefire way to put a damper on your coolness factor (and maybe get your car privileges revoked by the parental units). So, night cruising with your buddies? Maybe save that for when you're a legal adult.
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
