What Happens If You Don't Finish the Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course
If you do not finish the Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) Course, you will not receive a certificate and Driving Logic will not report your completion to FLHSMV. Without a certificate, you cannot satisfy the DETS requirement for a Florida learner's license.
No Certificate Without Completing All Requirements
Your certificate is issued only after you complete all 4 lessons, all unit quizzes, the final exam with a score of 80% or higher, and the full 6-hour instructional time requirement. If any of these steps are not completed, the course is incomplete and no certificate is issued.
120-Day Access Window
You have 120 days from your enrollment date to complete the course. If you do not finish within that window, your access to the course closes. You will need to re-enroll and restart the course to complete the DETS requirement.
Your Progress Is Saved Until the Window Closes
Your progress is saved automatically as you go. As long as you are within your 120-day window, you can return at any time and pick up where you left off. Plan your sessions so you finish with time to spare.
