Default florida laws!!!

i am just wondering what some of the laws are down in florida...

license plates... from and back or just back?

drinking age.......

tints.......

exhaust (loudness)...

exterior and interior neons... what color if any are illegal... and also is it illegal to drive with them one?

systems... up in ny they said they were cracking down on loud bass systems... does this apply in florida???

age for buying tobacco...




i think that is it... but if there are any others you wanna tell me about before i leave then please help me out!!! thanks a lot!!!

1) back only (for now)
2) 21
3)35% on front roll ups, 20% on rears, tint strip to the AS1 line
4)really loud gets you a ticket, sometimes. so use common sense
5)blue & red are a no-no while moving. mainly selective enforcement. if they want to be a poop, they'll give you a ticket, if not you'll just get a warning.
6) LOUD stereo especially at night after 10pm will get you a ticket, sometimes. just like #5 it's selective enforcement.
7) buy smokes when you are 18

it will vary from city to city how much they crack down on certain things. your speed is the thing you should most watch out for. they don't hesitate to pull you over going 5 over in residential.

YOU HAVE BEEN FOREWARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Florida isn't bad IF YOU'RE OLD.

it seems like everyone has 5% on their windows. I ran 20% all around and it is dark enough for me. I have a hard time at night seeing out the back with 20%, I can only imagine what 5% would be like.

I got pulled over once in my Ranger with 20% tint. the cop told me to get it removed but gave me a warning. so I made sure the tint was fixed.

I notice others I've drove around with sometimes turn their music down when they spot a officer....I never have, and nothing has ever happened. But I make sure im going the speed limit when they're in the area.
