Has anyone here even suggested that a speed limit will eliminate all accidents? No. But it will likely prevent some. And, in doing so, it will make the lake safer for the average boater. Is this so hard to understand? After all, highways have speed limits for this exact same reason.
The opponents to a speed limit have one main concern ... that they will have to slow down to a reasonable speed. (And I do understand that "reasonable speed" is not the same figure for all of us.) The opponents say that we cannot prove that a speed limit will make the lake any safer. But can they prove that it won't make the lake safer? Yet they are so arrogent that they are willing to bet other people's lives that they are right. And for what reason? Just so that they can legally go as fast as they want on Winni. This seems rather selfish to me.
