Seat Belts: Florida law requires all front seat passengers wear seat belts regardless of age. All passengers, regardless of location in the vehicle, who are under 18 years of age must wear seat belts.Police Department
Car Seats: The following is taken from Florida law: “Every operator of a motor vehicle as defined herein, while transporting a child in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of this state, shall, if the child is 5 years of age or younger, provide for protection of the child by properly using a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. For children aged through 3 years, such restraint device must be a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child seat. For children aged 4 through 5 years, a separate carrier, an integrated child seat, or a seat belt may be used.” -

Authorization to carry concealed firearms is described in Section 790.06 of the Florida Statutes and regulated by the Florida Department of State. Persons, who are licensed to carry a firearm in a state other than Florida who wish to determine if their license applies in Florida, may find the information they need through the Florida Department of State’s website. Regardless of where one has obtained their firearms license, when in Florida, you are accountable to Florida laws concerning firearms and carrying / possession of them.Police Department

Florida statutes prohibit sun screening material on side windows on either side, forward of or adjacent to the operator’s seat…the solar reflectance of visible light of not more than 25% as measured on the no film side and light transmittance of at least 28% in the visible light range. No sun screening may be placed on the front window so as to “encroach upon the driver’s direct forward viewing area…”Police Department
As a practical matter, legitimate window tenting businesses know which of their products comply with Florida laws and are not allowed to install sun-screening materials, which do not comply with state statutes. They may have darker material in stock to put on rear side and rear windows as allowed by law.
Window tinting of any sort deteriorates a driver’s visibility, particularly at night. It is strongly urged that you consider this when deciding how dark you wish to tint your windows. Do not trade safety for comfort or style. -
Florida statutes prohibit the use of “any headlamp, auxiliary or fog lamp, rear lamp, signal lamp, or reflector…which tend to change the original design or performance, unless of a type which has been submitted to the department and approved.” This includes neon lights under a vehicle and around the license plate.Police Department
It is a violation of law (arrestable) to display flashing blue lights or red lights unless authorized by statute. If you are not sure whether you are authorized, you probably aren’t.
Decorative covers over tail / stop lights have become popular. Florida statues require that tail lamps “shall emit a red light plainly visible from a distance of 1,000 feet to the rear…” -
