Unlawful Speed

This bill (SB 350) proposed amending Florida's traffic law to clarify that drivers following local ordinances about operating vehicles on flooded streets are exempt from the prohibition against driving "too slowly." Specifically, it added an explicit exception to the "unlawful slow speed" rule for compliance with local flood-related vehicle operation rules. The change would directly affect drivers in communities with such local ordinances, ensuring they aren't penalized for slowing down as required during flooding. The bill was never enacted, as it was indefinitely postponed and later died in committee.
