Florida wide angle mirror law

My understanding is that in florida you can pull someone on a jet skii and you do not need an observer as long as you have a wide angle mirror even on a jet skii. now do they stock mirror meet this requirement or is there a special " wide angle mirror for jet ski" ??

devotion, a cop once gave me a warning for not having a wide angle mirror on my jetski even though i had the stock mirrors. out of the multiple times ive been stopped on my jetski he was the only cop to mention it.

Ive gotten a ticket for not having a mirror on my ski and the douchebag fish and game guy told me that a $1 bike mirror is legal so thats whats on there right now.

I've never seen the DNR once on my lake until this summer when they pulled us over and issued a citation for not having "enough or adequate life preservers within the boat." So gay...

Depends what kind of lake you live on in Florida.. you'll never see cops on the private lakes.. I ride on a big lake and they are only out there on the weekends SOMETIMES and always out there on the holidays..

I just found this but its for alabama. I wonder if this apply to florida.

"Every PWC towing a person(s) on water skis or a similar device must have mirrors mounted on both the right and left sides of the PWC (but not attached to the steering control) and the mirrors must be at least 2.5-inches high x 4-inches wide."

That sux the Cops should have mirrors to give out or to at least show to people that don't have them.
