He said your car must have at least one rearview mirror that gives a view of the roadway at least 200 feet behind you.

“But when the rear window is blocked by any obstruction or covered by either a material or tinting film and it becomes non- transparent, then your car mush be equipped with side view mirrors on both sides,” Trooper Steve said.

Your doors can be removed from the Jeep to “enjoy the Sunshine State” as long as you have one of these mirror options, he said.

Regardless, Trooper Steve says to be responsible and wear your seat belt.
