If you are a new Florida resident, you are required to register your vehicle within ten days and get a Florida drivers license within 30 days.

If you have an out-of-state drivers license and it has not expired beyond 30 days you can convert your license without taking a written or road test. The auto insurance must be purchased from an insurance company licensed by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.

If you have been involved in a crash, or been convicted of certain offenses, you may be required to purchase bodily injury liability coverage BIL. It's also really convenient. Whichever spot you pick, all your gear is right there with you. But first, you have to get there. I've spent some time out on the sand rescuing mired trucks and SUVs, and the most common problem is not lack of ground clearance or insufficiently gnarly tires. The problem is that the driver neglected to turn off traction and stability control.

Those systems hate wheelspin and use either the brakes or throttle to slow spinning tires. Which, out on the beach, is exactly what you don't want.

You need to be able to use the throttle to maintain momentum, and that means some wheelspin is not only inevitable but desirable. Sir Isaac Newton said that when sand goes backward, your truck goes forward.

But if you leave your traction control engaged, it's like driving into a virtual tar pit as your vehicle slowly digs itself into a hole. Every vehicle has a different means to kill the traction control. Sometimes it's a simple button. In trucks with low-range 4WD which you'll want to use, if you have it , engaging 4Lo normally disables traction control.

And fancier rigs—say, the Lincoln Navigator —usually have preprogrammed drive modes that correspond to the terrain. In the Navigator's case, beach driving calls for "Deep Conditions," where the throttle, transmission and stability control are instructed to keep the power flowing and those big tires churning.

On the street, you want your tires firm, for both fuel economy and safety. But on sand, an aired-up tire wants to cut through the sand—which is to say, sink down into it. With less tire pressure, though, the footprint expands, allowing the tire to ride up on top of the sand.

It's like a pizza wheel versus a rolling pin. And fortunately, even the lamest street tire can be radically improved simply by letting out some air. So how do you do that? Well, I like to use a high-tech air removal tool called a "pebble.
