Is it illegal to sleep in your car in Florida?
I’ve lived in Florida my entire life, but I haven’t really explored it. I want to take a month off to tour the state on a budget. Can I legally sleep in my car in Florida?

- If you’re parked at a rest stop, there’s a three-hour parking limit.
- If you’re on the highway, you can’t pull over and sleep on the shoulder, because it’s reserved for emergency vehicles.
- If you’ve had a few drinks, you could be ticketed for sleeping in your car, even if it’s not moving.
Follow these rules and you’ll have a good night’s rest and a smooth trip. Happy road-tripping!
