Q: So, you just moved to Florida from Georgia. You had a license there. Can you drive?

(Expect a lot of trivia questions like this on your test.)

A: Well, yes, at first. You have 30 days to apply for a license if you're a new Florida resident.

How do they define "resident," though? Well, if you

• are registered to vote (doesn't affect minors),
• are paying university tuition (also likely doesn't affect minors),
• pay homeowners taxes (also, doesn't really affect minors),
• enroll your children in a public school (you're really striking out here, kid),
• or you get some other privilege that you wouldn't normally get if you lived out of state

...then you're a resident.
