Speed limit? There already is one!

We need more laws! If the Marine Patrol cannot enforce existing (common sense) laws will they be able to enforce speed limits? How many times have you been in your boat or sitting on shore and witnessed someone running to close to shoreor another boat, ignoring the headway speed signs or other infractions and thought if only the patrol boat was here?

The marine patrol will need to set speed traps in the broads to clock speeders. How about using helicopters to clock speeders from the air?

Now how would you fund this initiative? They can raise the fee to register a boat, increase taxes for the home owners on the lake, assess heavy fines on the speeders, etc....

My 2 Cents!
