What Is the Wireless Communications Device Safety Course?

The Florida Wireless Communications Device Safety Course is a state-mandated 90-minute program for drivers cited for using a handheld wireless device in a non-hands-free manner while driving in a designated school crossing, school zone, or work zone.

Florida law (Statute 316.306) prohibits this behavior to protect children, pedestrians, and workers. If you're caught and it's your first offense, you can complete this course instead of paying the fine and accepting points.

The course covers distracted driving dangers, reaction time, stopping distance, wireless device laws, defensive driving, and managing distractions.

At the end, you’ll take a 20-question exam. Score 80% to pass. Unlimited free retakes.

Who Needs This Course?

The Wireless Communications Device Safety Course is required in two main situations:
