Let me put it a different way: Speed wasn’t a safety issue before the completely useless speed limit became law. Speed is now not a factor after the completely useless speed limit has been law for many years.

You are missing the point: With the implementation of the speed limit nothing has changed with regard to safety on the lake. The speed limit just makes some people feel good. It's all about their feelings.

I think that's what I was trying to say. We're on the same side of this issue, Tilton. Get rid of this useless law, and focus time and resources on issues that will actually improve safety.
