But we all seem to agree nobody would do that at high speed. And that is what the data shows.
I really don't care how many tickets are handed out or if they stand up in court. A speed limit will set a standard. Its sends a message even if not tightly enforced. "NO LIMITS" also sends a message, but it is the wrong one!

If I am out on the lake and speeding (if I could), having full knowledge of this test and a copy of the report and the data to support it, A speed limit would not stop me from going fast because the ticket would be a useless piece of paper that would mean nothing to me because the ticket would not hurt me financially or driving record wise because the ticket does not even hold its own weight. I would gladly put this to the test in a court of law. I might get stopped for what someone else might feel is reckless boating, but who is the judge of that just because you are going fast does not mean you are reckless, although some here in the forum feel otherwise. Probably the same people that do 45 in a posted 65 speed limit area on the road or those that have never gone over the speed limit their whole lives, yeah right
