One large reason why there is now a nation wide shortage of CDL-A truck drivers is because it is a very difficult state license test to pass. About seven out of eight flunk it.
A simple and straight-ahead question it is. "Do you think NH lakes will be safer with a 45-25 speed limit?"
In case you forget, 45mph is hardly a slow speed for a boat!

I wasn't picking on Tractor Trailers drivers, I was making a point, that the general public might not know the HIGH standards you speak, want me to point to a story where a tractor trailer KILLED 7 kids in a minivan that had stopped for bus to unload, ages 13 months to 15 years old. Never mind I just will (
