In all cases, speed shall be controlled so that the operator will be able to avoid endangering or colliding with any person, vessel, object, or shore."

If they had stopped there, instead of playing nanny and picking an speed above which they assumed was unsafe, we'd all be happy. I wonder how many law makers that voted for the law have a boaters certificate.
