Boiled down,
Outlaw's statement was that exceeding the speed limit
set for the highway is no different a case than exceeding a speed limit
set for the Lake.

This may be a "right-brain" / "left-brain" issue. Perhaps a parable will help:
I stood with a old retired aircraft pilot once, contemplating a light plane that had just crashed into a pine tree right adjacent to Lake Winnipesaukee. There were no injuries.
I asked the old guy, "Which is the better crash site to choose, were it possible...a lake or a tree?"
He told me, "The impact is the same, but you won't drown if you've selected the tree."
Well,
I see the logic in it.

It also happened to be the cloudiest, soggiest, coldest, most turbid season in years with a low turnout of boaters, divers, and skiers. What happens next season?

As goes 'Jersey, so goes New Hampshire?
How many people are fleeing New Hampshire for 'Jersey?
State motto: "New Jersey...You got a problem wid dat?"
