Getting your driver license in Sunrise, FL means passing the Class E Driving Skills Test. This page covers what happens at the test, what the roads look like, what your car must have, and what documents to bring.
Where the Road Test Takes Place in Sunrise
The road test in Sunrise is conducted at a state driver license office in Broward County. You schedule your appointment directly with the state — not with a driving school. The examiner meets you in the parking lot, inspects your vehicle, and starts the test from there.
State Driver License Office
The test is conducted at a state driver license office in Broward County — you book directly through the state system.
Arrive 10 Min Early
Arrive at least 10 minutes early. Late arrivals lose their appointment slot and must reschedule.
Parking Lot Start
The examiner meets you in the parking lot, inspects your vehicle, and begins the test from there.
What the Roads Look Like in Sunrise
The Sunrise road test covers local residential streets and main roads in the area. The test lasts about 15–20 minutes total. You will not drive on the Sawgrass Expressway (Rt. 869) or I-75 — highway driving is not part of the standard Class E road test.
🛣️ Main Roads on the Route
- • W. Oakland Park Blvd (Rt. 816)
- • Hiatus Rd
- • NW 44th St
- • N. Flamingo Rd
🚦 Speed Limits to Know
🚫 No highway driving — the Sawgrass Expressway (Rt. 869) and I-75 are NOT part of the Class E road test.
Common Mistakes at the Sunrise Road Test
Most people fail not because they can't drive — they fail because of small, fixable errors on specific road features in Sunrise.
🛑 Rolling Stops
The most common failure point. Many intersections on NW 44th St and near Flamingo Rd have stop signs where the examiner watches for a complete stop. The wheels must stop moving completely.
🔀 Lane Choice on W. Oakland Park Blvd
This road has multiple lanes and left-turn pockets. Choosing the wrong lane before a turn is a point deduction — plan your lane early.
🏫 Speed Control Near School Zones
Matters especially around Piper High School and North University High School. If your test runs during school hours, speed limits drop and violations count.
🪞 Improper Mirror Checks
Improper mirror checks before lane changes are marked down consistently. The examiner watches your eyes and head movement — not just the car's position.

One Important Thing About Your Florida License
In Florida, if you pass your road test in an automatic transmission vehicle, you are still legally allowed to drive a manual transmission car afterward. Florida does not restrict your license based on the type of vehicle you tested in.
This is different from some other states. Whatever car you use on test day, your Class E license covers both automatic and manual vehicles.
