I think an unreasonable speed conviction going against your license would not count as it is a matter of perception, but if a speeding ticket is based on verifiable radar results why should it not count against your license?

Because by law I'm required to have a driver's license to drive a car. I do not need a driver's license to operate a boat...only a safe boating certificate.

Silly girl...

You are not supposed to be that smart or at least smarter than Concord has proven themselves to be.

Evenstar, those things I pointed out would be helpful if you listened. But I know you won't because you are never wrong in your opinion. If you continue to post the way you do nothing will change. Thats your decision but don't continue to whine about.

Do we know of even a boat stop, or a warning, for "unreasonable speed"?

Well if you bother to look at the 2006 NH boating stats you will see that one PWC accident involving a fall was ruled to have happened during a turn at "Excessive Speed"!

Did the operator get a ticket or warning? I don't know but "Excessive Speed" is listed as the cause of the PWC accident so gee, I guess NH really does have an unreasonable speed statute.

How does the Marine Patrol writing the words "Excessive Speed" on an accident report indicate that there is an unreasonable speed statute?

Do you believe a statute is created when an officer writes words on a report? It's a little more complicated than that.

I asked how many tickets have been passed out for "unreasonable speed". Are you replying that there may, or may not, have been ONE passed out two years ago?

I am pointing out that in spite of all of your denials, an RSA currently exists that enforces dangerous and negligent operation of boats, including excessive speed. It is you and your supporters that deny the RSA can be used to enforce speed. Apparently that is not true.

You asked how many tickets have been handed out and I said I don't know. For some reason the Marine Patrol doesn't like to publicize what it does. In my opinion that is a mistake, however since their incident logs are public record, and if you're in the neighborhood, why don't you swing by Glendale once a week and copy the log and post it? Then we'll know.

How many tickets have been passed out for unreasonable speed. The MP would know, ask them. Listing excessive speed as the cause of someone falling off a PWC is proof that it is a concept recognized by the law. It is in their statistics at the least. It does not mean a ticket was issued for excessive speed. MP knows if and how many warnings or tickets for excessive speed are given.

First you guys deny that the Marine Patrol and the law recognize reasonable speeds and there are laws about those speeds. You finally can not hide from that fact so now you start ranting about how many tickets have or have not been written. You question why we need other laws if laws about reasonable speeds are in place. Who are you trying to kid? You are trying to distract. It's another way to spin.

We do not need more laws we need more enforcement of the current laws. If you want to do away with the other laws start a different thread.
