How many drivers in your example were at anchor?
A driver can't legally stop in Interstate traffic, but boaters can travel at less than 70-, 75-, or even 10-MPH. Boaters have been endangered when legally stopped!
BTW: The Marine Patrol's Speed Survey arrived at their "average" by including boats traveling under 10-MPH.
