Florida law states that a driver may not drive a motor vehicle with panels or other materials attached to the windshield, or hang equipment that obstructs the view of the rearview mirror, rear or side mirrors, or windows. Violations of the law will be punished as a traffic offense. However, there is no law preventing citizen drivers from hanging objects on the rear-view mirror themselves. The vehicle must be equipped with both mirrors and side mirrors, but it is not illegal to hang objects inside the vehicle around the rear-view mirror. An example of a violation of the law would be the application of a large sticker on the windshield, which effectively obstructs the driver`s view of the road and other vehicles. Another example of a violation of the law would be to overload the rear of the vehicle with the contents to the point that the driver does not have a clear view into the rear windshield to see the vehicles behind him. Some laws prohibit the attachment of objects, equipment and other utensils to the windshields of vehicles.
