The bills targeted takeover-related burnouts, doughnuts, drifting, and wheelies.

The Claim

Florida Senate Bill 876 and Florida House Bill 399 would expand enforcement against street takeover and stunt-driving activities, including burnouts, doughnuts, drifting, and wheelies.

The Short Version

Official legislative records confirm that the measures expanded Florida’s enforcement framework for street takeovers and associated stunt driving, expressly covering burnouts, doughnuts, drifting, and wheelies. The statutory definition applies when these maneuvers occur as part of a street takeover, rather than automatically covering every isolated instance.

Caveats

  • The listed maneuvers constitute statutory stunt driving when performed as part of a street takeover.
  • HB 399 became the enacted legislative vehicle; SB 876 was the similar Senate measure.
  • Official legislative and statutory records provide the strongest support; secondary reports are corroborative.
