What is the Class E Knowledge Exam?
The Class E Knowledge Exam is the written test the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) requires before you can get a regular Class E driver license or learner license. It confirms you understand road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way and safe driving before you ever get behind the wheel.
