The law is for Winnipesaukee, therefore any other data is not germane to the discussion.

You have to cut data collection off somewhere, one accident in five years certainly indicates a lack of a pattern.

Not that I know of any non-boat to boat, but they are not as relevant to the problem. A single boat collision generally indicates that only those involved in the alleged irresponsible activity were affected.

You were the one that indicated there were fatal accidents. Show us your data.

IMO, as soon as alcohol is inserted into the equation, all other contributing factors are moot. Driving under the influence, as we all know, is far riskier than speeding. It also indicates a complete disregard for any reason or safety, and therefore would not be impacted by pretty much any law the legislature could put on the books.
