You know after reading the article FLL posted the speed limit is very much up in the air. I got a kick out of the seacoast Senators who are more than willing to impose a limit on Lake Winnipesaukee as long as they don't get one on the inland flats. They know there is no problem, but I'm sure they've been badgered, cajoled and threatened by the likes of Island Lover and Fat Jack. The hype and inaccurate reports about how dangerous Winni. is supposed to be have had an effect. If the Senators who are teetering on this issue would just take a look at the actual statistics on Winni. and NH, they would see that there is no problem with speed and the small number of accidents that have happened were due to other circumstances. The one fatal incident that keeps being brought up wasn't even close to being a speed related accident, a speed limit just would not have helped that poor person.
The senate committee did the right thing voting against this speed limit, hopefully the senate will follow their example.
