The best argument for a speed limit is that it lowers anxiety in the fearful. While a admirable goal, it comes at the price of freedom, for some, to pursue happiness of speed. If there was a significant danger, the price would be acceptable. Instead, dislike of big boats, loud noise and the desire to “feel” safe has been erroneously lumped into the logic of safety. The dishonesty of the proponents who pushed the bill forward should be enough to warrant its expiration. Conducting a public opinion survey after a well-funded media education campaign showed us a textbook technique of how to buy a law. Fortunately, there was not enough funding to prevent a sunset clause. Two years of “feel-good nannyism” is enough. Let this law expire.
