Enforcement will determine whether it is just eye wash......I am sure this one will not be a page one priority...with selective enforcement (if any) like all the other moving violations.

The killer height of jacked up vehicles, why isn't this height mandated so small cars won't be ripped apart by a tall vehicle frame? Even a medium size car could be taken out if the frame heights are extreme in a crash.

Great idea. Unfortunately, like the left hand lane law, I suspect that it will rarely be enforced.

Before cheering this new way of keeping Florida safe and free, go out in your driveway and try it. A normal voice easily carries 25 feet. It won't take much to be in violation.

Nothing worse than a loud base with crummy speakers. Should be ticketed and confiscated.

How about making it illegal to upgrade your rims, stereo system or any aesthetic features to your car when it has windows, bumper(s) or other important components in serious need of repair or missing entirely, etc? I see this all over Florida where people just seem to think that a better stereo system or larger chrome wheels will mask the rest of their vehicle falling apart.

This will not be enforced. Florida deserves its reputation of the worst drivers in the country.

Thank God for this law. If you ever lived in a college town, you will know how important it is. You could be lying in bed and hear loud base playing cars go by blocks away.
