They weren't doing so well with Donzis.

Now, you've agreed with me; however, you're not in agreement with NHMP Lt. Mark K. Gallagher:

Quote:
"The Bureau of Marine Patrol's acting bureau chief, Lt. Mark K. Gallagher, agreed education isn't enough.

"'If greater knowledge transferred into compliance then that would be wonderful, but there isn't much lack of knowledge of what the speed limit is on every stretch of road and that doesn't transfer into compliance,' he said."

See above quote.

Say, where is Lt. Gallagher now?
