And I think people read far to much into the words of speed limit supporters.
Yes, a speed limit will probably make the lake a little safer by lowering the accident rate. That doesn't mean is was the reason for the speed limit. And yes, safety was certainly one of the arguments for having a speed limit. But it was never the principal reason.
It is the OPPOSITION that zeroed in on the safety issue as if it were the central argument or only reason for a speed limit.
Safety is only one of many reasons, and not the principal reason in my opinion or the opinion of the man the wrote the legislation.
How many times have the opposition argued that Winni's low accident rate proves we don't need a speed limit. It is incredible to me that they were unable to see that the accident rate means nothing because it was never the reason for the speed limit.
