What does it matter how far a boat drifts after the throttle is chopped? This is not a collision situation or a ROW violation.

With no speed limit and no safe zone as being proposed on this forum, I would presume that the concern to an open non-motorized craft would be a great deal enhanced.
If a boat approached too quickly and veered away sharply at speed, it could overturn or swamp them.
