The Florida Drug and Alcohol Course — formally called the Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education ( TLSAE ) course — is a 4-hour first-time driver program required by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles ( FLHSMV , sometimes referenced as the DHSMV). Florida law requires every first- time license applicant to complete this course before being issued a Class E learner's permit.

The course covers Florida traffic laws, the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving performance, safe driving practices, and defensive driving fundamentals. It's not a defensive driving course or a traffic-ticket dismissal course — it's the first-time driver course specifically required for permit eligibility.

Get Drivers Ed's TLSAE course is fully online and self-paced. You can start, pause, and resume on any device. When you complete the 4 hours and pass the included online knowledge exam, your certificate is delivered to your account instantly and electronically reported to the FLHSMV.

The Florida TLSAE Drug and Alcohol Course is required for every first-time Florida driver's license applicant — regardless of age.

• Ages 14–17: Teens applying for a Florida learner's permit must complete the TLSAE course before the DMV's vision and hearing test.
• Ages 18 and up: First-time adult applicants must also complete the TLSAE course — there is no age-based exemption in Florida.
• Out-of-state license holders: Generally exempt when transferring an existing license to Florida.

The TLSAE curriculum covers every topic Florida law requires:

• Florida traffic laws and road sign recognition
• The effects of alcohol, drugs, and other impairments on driving
• Defensive driving techniques and hazard awareness
• Right-of-way rules, intersections, and school zones
• Safe following distances and highway driving
• Consequences of driving under the influence (DUI) in Florida
