If you are moving to Jacksonville, beware that a new law could pass that would make it illegal to back your car into any private, residential driveway. Sounds ridiculous right? Although the city government is allowed to make restrictions regarding motor vehicles, many are arguing that the restrictions need to be sensible, and Jacksonville moving companies agree.
Lawmakers in Jacksonville are pushing for legislation that tip-toes on the line of reasonable and downright controlling.
According to Autoblog, Jacksonville lawmakers have proposed making parking backwards in driveways illegal for the purpose of city inspectors not being able to easily view your tags from the street. Since the city already has a law that makes it illegal for residents to keep non-operational cars and trucks on their private property, the new law is another facet of the already existing one.
A way around the new proposed law: have a tag on the front of your car.
So what if you are moving to Jacksonville and are a car enthusiast who does not drive all of their cars, and has them parked in the driveway rather than a large garage? Unfortunately, you would most likely have to find somewhere else to store them if Jacksonville lawmakers have their way.
