Your European driving permit has a temporary validity, if you plan to stay in Florida more than 6 months you need to obtain the Florida Licence. I might be wrong since I was there a long time ago.

Taking the test is very easy, very cheap, somebody mentioned 40 or 50 dollars.

my prediction: Sarah is not going to like Miami. she wants too much hand holding and she isn't going to get any of that from the locals.
its harsh but honest.

Your sad about taking 2 hours out of your day and spending $50 for a drivers license. The driving test IS the easiest thing I have ever done in my life. Watching TV is more difficult. It is nothing like it is in Europe. I wish it was more difficult but it was not. So go online and make an appointment to take a test. You will obviously bring your car. Also dont forget you need to buy insurance too.

Why is this a big deal?

By the way forgot to say yes we do have to take a test - we checked it out in person...in case this helps others moving here....and no its not a problem to take the test, or pay for it, or even do it, cos i have only had 1 accident in 25 years of driving...
