Arrow It's about a 45/25mph speed limit or NO 45/25 limit - Not UNLIMITED

APS posting it here and linking to his own more lengthy post is not fair to the voting process. There are already laws in place requiring reasonable speeds on the lake. APS's claim in THIS poll thread puts a bias into the results.

And APS responds
How is the default position of sane boating law opponents NOT "Unlimited Speeds"?


Geesh...So many questions go unanswered.
Geesh, why don't you remember the answers that have been posted several times already? You do not know what people SUPPORT just because we oppose the unwise proposed 45/25mph speed limit.

Opposition to the 45 mph day and 25 mph night speed limit is NOT support for unlimited speeds. We already have laws regarding reasonable speeds on the lake. Are you suggesting that if we oppose 45/25 limits that we also want to remove current laws about reasonable speeds and have a truly Unlimited Speed lake? Are you trying to convince readers that those opposed to a 45/25mph limit do not support some other speed related regulations or proposals?

Let me try to say this one more way. There are many options with regard to speed. One is a 45/25mph speed limit that you support. There are SO MANY OTHER possibilities including the status quo. Opposing that one particular limit does NOT mean anyone is discarding any other regulations about speed including the current laws about reasonable and safe speeds.

This is really getting tedious and too time consuming.
