The bill amends existing Florida statutes related to the operation of vehicles and vessels. It revises the definition of "vehicle" in section 316.003 to include devices that transport or draw persons or property on a street or highway, while excluding personal delivery devices, mobile carriers, and devices used exclusively on stationary rails or tracks. Additionally, it updates section 316.183 to state that no person may drive a vehicle on a street or highway at a speed greater than what is reasonable and prudent, considering existing conditions and hazards.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section, 316.88, which prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle, vessel, or other conveyance at a speed that creates an excessive wake on flooded or inundated streets or highways. This legislation aims to enhance safety and regulate speed in various driving conditions, particularly in areas prone to flooding. The act will take effect upon becoming law.
