Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Any non-commercial motor vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or less.

A Florida Class E driver's license authorizes you to operate any non-commercial motor vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 26,001 pounds or less, including passenger cars, 3-wheel motor vehicles, and trucks.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Operating vehicles with a seating capacity of more than 15 passengers (including the driver) typically requires a CDL with a passenger endorsement.
  • B. Commercial motor vehicles requiring a CDL (Commercial Driver's License) are not authorized by a Class E license.
  • D. Operating a two-wheel motor vehicle (motorcycle) requires a motorcycle endorsement (Class M) added to a Class E license.

Florida Class E License Privileges

A Florida Class E driver's license permits operating non-commercial motor vehicles up to 26,001 lbs GVWR, including cars and light trucks.

  • Authorizes operation of passenger cars, 3-wheel motor vehicles, and light trucks.
  • GVWR limit of 26,001 pounds or less.
  • Does not include motorcycles (requires endorsement) or commercial vehicles (requires CDL).
  • Most common type of personal driver's license.

Memory trick: Class E: 'Everyday' vehicles, 'Easy' to drive, but mind the 'Weight' limit.
