Florida Traffic Watch FAQ's
How do I know if Florida Traffic Watch is licensed by Florida's DMV to offer driver training courses?
While we do include Florida Traffic Watch's contact information in our driving school directory, we cannot say with certainty as to whether Florida Traffic Watch is certified by the State of Florida.

Is it true that my mom or dad can be my driving instructor when I do my driver training instead of a professional driving school instructor like the ones they have at Florida Traffic Watch?

What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Florida Traffic Watch have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?
