Oh my head!
The Littlefield/Hartman tragedy has absolutely nothing to do with speed limits!
Things might have been different if Rusty & Alex's Common Man restaurant had shut Danny off... but they didn't (overserved?)
Things might have been different if Danny had not decided to drive the boat while under the influence of alcohol... but he didn't (designated driver?)
Things might have been different if Danny had not decided to drink at all...
Things might have been different if Danny was keeping a proper lookout...
Have you guys noticed a pattern here? It wasn't the boat, or the conditions, it was the DRIVER! A person who consistently made bad choices that when added up tragically ended the life of Mr. Hartman. He has been tried and convicted of negligent homicide, by failing to keep a proper lookout.
By using the logic of some people, lets make the speed limit on our roads lower because drunks drive on them...
