We Are Temporarily Halting Further Publication....

Do to financial issues and lack of funding we are temporarily halting further publication. After a full year of publication, we have reached a bridge that we are unable to cross at this time. We may periodically publish an article but at this time, full-time publication is no longer feasible.

Drivers and travelers: rejoice, recline, and — most importantly — read the fine print. In Florida you can legally sleep in your car at a rest area , but the state has politely (and bureaucratically) set a curfew on your horizontal ambitions. Pull up, power nap , pack up — and do it all before the three-hour buzzer sounds. Think of Florida’s rest-area rules as the DMV of naps! The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Florida Administrative Code say these roadside oases exist to fight driver fatigue — and to allow the general public a short, safe snooze. For non-commercial drivers, the limit is three hours... Commercial vehicle operators (that’s professional truck drivers) get more mercy: up to ten hours, aligned with federal hours-of-service expectations so truckers can actually finish a legally required rest window without getting ticketed for loafing. So yes, your buddy the trucker can sleep longer than you — he’s earned it the h...
