It'll be so easy to avoid getting a ticket. The effectiveness of the speed radar diminishes with the square of distance so that if you double your distance from the radar, the effectiveness is reduced by a factor of 4. Just stay far away from stationary boats and slow to 55 or less when you can't. Honestly, I don't think it'll make a bit of difference. Most folks that go fast stay far away from other boats anyway. If they don't, they deserve a ticket.

Flyry49...

Your post shows that the new speed limit bill has worked *exactly* as its proponents intended.....

The lake is no more safer now than it was before... but one type of boater has decided to leave instead of risking a potential financial burden based on unreliable enforcement of a specious statute.

Sorry to see you go...
