This accident in itself is unimportant. However it has brought to light the fact that many people boat at night expecting anything in the way to have a light.
4Fun thinks he is not responsible if he hits a boat with no lights. I hope he never has to explain his theory to a jury, because they will not be buying it.
What about a boat with a burned out light, what about children on a boat operated by an idiot. This is the typical "blame someone else" attitude that prevails by irresponsible members of our society.

To comment on your comments....
I never want to hit another boat. I will do everything in my power not to do so but I will absolutely NOT be held responsible if I hit another boat with no lights. Burned out or not. Whether there are children or nuns on board is irrelevant. The blame someone else attitude is in your comment!!! If you are out there with no lights YOU are to blame not me. I will be sober, keeping a proper lookout, and going a reasonable speed( no not 50mph in the dark) . I will be following the law. You will be nearly invisible and breaking the law. This is fact. I will put this to a jury and win every time. You better retain a good lawyer if I hit your unlit boat at night and someone in my boat is hurt.
I do agree it's about time the "blame someone else" people are held accountable. Take responsibility for your own actions please. The laws you are pushing so strongly have nurtured all these idiots to get so far in life. They think the world is all warm and fuzzy since RSA1234 is there to keep them safe. We need to stop dummying down society to the lowest common denominator. There are some pretty dumb people out there and if we model our society around them we will grind to a halt.
