A good example to me that we need more enforcement of current rules rather than adding another rule.
You said it. MP in sight people behave better.
Thanks for making the point.

Which to do prefer....
1. Ideas that might work and can be implemented with existing equipment, funding and personnel.
2. Ideas that are fantastic in theory, but have ZERO chance of being funded or implemented.
I will go with number 1.

Gilligan stated that now, even without a speed limit, the presence of MP slows boats down. Imagine that...they are somehow enforcing a law that doesn't exist.
