65 mph on the Broads only

Most of the boating accidents occur at night and involve alcohol & poor decisions.

The reality is, if someone is going to rip around the Broads at 65 its a big bunch of nothing. The odds of getting stopped for that are the same as getting stopped for going 75 on 93. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. The NHMP has better things to do than worry about a fast boat in the Broads.

I can see that last vote. And know that since the imposition of the new limit that the number of vessels has increased. So my expectations is that it will ITL in committee and die on the House Floor.

I see no reason as to expect anything else.
