The Orange County Sheriff’s Office posted a tweet Saturday reminding drivers to turn down their car music players.
Florida Statute 316.3045, which will go into effect July 1, states that music should not be “plainly audible at a distance of 25 feet or more from the motor vehicle.”
If people can hear music coming from your car from 25 ft. away, it's too loud! A new law enables law enforcement to give tickets for loud music coming from your car that is “plainly audible at a distance of 25 ft. or more” #TurnItDown #KeepItDown New law: https://t.co/aaNkqyieQT pic.twitter.com/cg48e419Pg
