I think the real problem is ATTITUDE, not knowledge.
Think about it:
- Good, safe, concientious, boaters will take the course and test seriously, even welcoming an opportunity to tune up their knowledge.
- Reckless, hot-rod, self-centered types consider the course and test an inconvenience, and something to get by with the minimum.
And there are always those people that know the rules, and just ignore them. THOSE people, in my opnion, are the vast majority of the Capt B's out there.
