Because of how Florida driver's license numbers are assigned, it's possible for two or more to have the exact same number. Obviously that's bad! So they add another digit to tell them apart. So if your license ends with "-8", that means 8 people got the same number (ignoring the last digit) as you. If you have a really common first and last name, you're more likely to have a high number.

The available literature on the subject attributes the last number to much more than simple name coincidence. These people also need the same birthday to create the one, and, for the record, THERE ARE NO 8s

What does the last number mean on driver license mean?

The last number on a driver's license often serves as a check digit, which is used to verify the authenticity of the license number. It is typically calculated using a specific algorithm based on the other numbers in the license to help prevent fraud and ensure accuracy. In some states, it may also represent additional information, such as a specific classification or endorsement. Always check your local state's regulations for precise details.


Can you drive a scooter with an engine size less than 50cc's without a license in Florida?

Technically, you can operate a "scooter" without a valid license in Florida, IF the scooter is electric and meets the qualifications of being a motorized bike. If the scooter runs on gasoline, then no matter the size, you HAVE to have a valid driver's license. (By the way, the 49cc reference in the question actually does pertain to a certain restriction in Florida - with a gasoline powered scooter, 49cc is the maximum engine size a person can operate without a motorcycle endorsement on their driver's license). Oh, one last thing about the electric scooter - it has to have pedals which allow it to be pedaled just like a bicycle...hence meeting the guidelines of a "motorized bike."
