There could be other regulations that have a similar effect. Horsepower limits, maximum speed limits or length limits have much the same effect. And the prohibitions could be by state, local or lake by lake. And obviously there could be factors that have nothing to do with speed.

However ignoring the problem will not make it any better.

A speed limit is something we can try right now. Without a lot of money. That is why it has my support.

I know that you have supported it for the reasons you state above. It would be nice if it were the silver bullet fix all. I just don't think it will be. I think we all have our hearts in the right place. We just disagree on what the solution may be. I'd like to see what laws the states that have that have had declines in accidents. Anyway, all things considered I wish you well and I know that you stand behind your convictions. Keep up the good work with the bear cam.
