Here's a question for you. If the Marine Patrol officer in that boat hit a kayak while out patroling in the broads beacause neither the reflective orange pfd worn by the paddler, nor the dark blue kayak, nor the reflective white paddle blades were claimed to be visible and all blended into the two foot chop and could not be seen and it caused the death of the paddler. Would that end up as determined in a court to be an accident, a manslaughter, or a homicide, and why?

Was that the approached that APS used with the CG accident video?
Will a speed limit prevent what is observed in the photo?
A bicycle type flag would afford visibility of the kayak; but that would require common sense to self-protect and the proponents of HB162 are dependent upon legislation to self-protect themselves from their own actions.
