Island Lover...
So you are saying the accident on Lake Wicwas was due to excessive speed?
There is a large gap between the proposed 45MPH and 160MPH.
How is it that a boat going that fast will do anything to anyone? You are assuming (incorrectly) that someone would actually operate a boat that fast on a busy day... I think that would constitute reckless operation! (A law we already have on the books) You are bringing up worst case scenarios that although statisitcally possible, they are highly improbable. You would have a better chance of getting struck by lightning. The safety statistics speak volumes!
I don't think another law, without adding numbers to the MP will accomplish anything. I would rather see a compromise of reasonable & prudent coupled with some better funding for the MP, specifically to target BWI and serious rules infractions.
