The bill amends Florida Statutes to revise the definition of "vehicle" and establish new regulations regarding speed limits for vehicles and vessels. Specifically, it updates 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 amends section 316.183 to clarify 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 aims to enhance safety and protect infrastructure during adverse weather conditions. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
