The Coast Guard did not determine that speed was a factor in those accidents. They determined EXCESSIVE SPEED was a factor.
I doubt that the Coast Guard will make a determination of excessive speed when you are docking at 10 mph. You are being silly.
Why don't you answer the question. Is slower safer?
