Driver license restriction — court/supervision recommendation
Florida Statute § 322.16(1)(c), (5)
Summary verified against the 2026 Florida Statutes: October 7, 2026.
Quick Summary
The driver operated a motor vehicle AND violated a restriction actually imposed by FLHSMV under subsection (1)(c) upon recommendation of a court, the Florida Commission on Offender Review, or the Department of Corrections concerning a person under that entity’s jurisdiction, supervision, or control. Verify the department restriction and its origin; a restriction code alone does not establish this track. This is a second-degree misdemeanor. Ordinary department restrictions and teenage driving-hour violations are civil moving tracks under subsection (6). Do not assume a probation condition is itself a department-imposed license restriction.
