Once I finally receive my Florida learner's permit, what are the next steps? How many supervised driving hours should I aim for, and when can I apply for a full Florida driver's license?

Once you finally get your permit, the real practice begins behind the wheel! You need to log at least 50 hours of driving practice, with 10 of those hours done at night. To keep track and build your confidence safely, check out https://classeknowledgeexam.com/ for additional guidance. You must hold your permit for a full year or until you turn 18 before you can upgrade to your restricted license or full driver's license. Drive safely and take it slow.

Thanks for explaining it so clearly. I'll keep a log of my driving hours and make sure I get enough daytime and nighttime practice before applying.

That's the best approach. Staying consistent with supervised driving will improve your skills and help you feel much more confident when it's time for the road test.
