25 MPH at night seems like a reasonable limit to me. I don't exceed 25 at night but do safely run around 23 MPH (just over the minimum planing speed for my boat) or so, if condition and visibility permit. I don't need a law to tell me that a 35 MPH wind in my eyes is a bad thing at night. I'd still prefer there is no limit though. Would seem to me that most night time accidents probably involve more than just speed, speed and alcohol perhaps?
