## May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Florida curb?

Florida Statute 316.1945 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street — double parking. Testers squeeze alongside a Florida curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the 12-inch curb extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Florida handbook.

## When you leave a parked Florida vehicle, what does state law require you to do with the keys?

The official Florida Driver License Handbook says to set the parking brake, shift to Park or Reverse, turn off the engine, lock the vehicle, and that Florida law requires you to take the keys out of your vehicle before leaving it. Testers leave a Florida key in the ignition “just to run in.” Keys come with you, separate from the 12-inch curb extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Florida handbook.

## Before you open a door on a parked Florida vehicle, what must you check for?

The official Florida Driver License Handbook says to always check traffic around you before getting out of a vehicle so you do not open your door into a bicyclist or another vehicle. Testers swing a Florida street-side door into the bike lane. Look first, separate from the disabled-permit extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official Florida handbook.
