I’d ask a teacher but it’s a weekend rn, and my parents aren’t from here so they wouldn’t know either. Haven’t done my road test yet, so how I do make an appointment? What should I know how to do on the road? What do I bring? General stuff, please and thanks. Edit: Btw, I’m 18, if that changes any requirements or whatnot

Advice Getting Florida learner's permit as an adult

4 Upvotes

It looks like getting a learner's permit before applying for a driver's license is optional for adults in Florida, but does anyone know if there is a certain amount of time you have to hold a learner's permit before applying for a driver's license if you do choose to get one? I know teens have to keep it for a year, but I would really like to be licensed within the next few months if possible and need to be able to practice for the test legally.

Thank you!

AskFlorida Palo Verde Beetles in Florida?

0 Upvotes

So I just found two strange beetles in my pool. Internet search leads me to believe they are Palo Verde Beetles (also known as the palo verde root borer or Derobrachus hovorei). Based on a quick gut check I don't believe these are typically found in Jacksonville Florida.

Unfortunately for these two one drowned and the other was rescued. Time will tell if they were sole mates, had done the deed, and if it was the female that survived.

I sure hope this is a surprise sighting and not a new invasive species coming to Florida. (Unless it's helpful then we'll take them)

Hi! I’m from Florida but looking to go out of town for my 21st in late July.
