How many more "facts" are needed to get a speed limit?

Acres per Second,
More.....I would like to see one fact for a start. This accident does prove we need current laws regarding BWI and navigation lighting. Possibly legislation in these areas is not strict enough.
Should everyone be required to update to a 2mile Stearn light??? Should MP do random stops for BWI???
In this situation funds set for speed limit enforcement would have been ill spent, however the same budget increase may have had a chance to prevent this accident if allocated toward better enforcement of current regulations.
