Where has this been shown?
How many tickets have been passed out for "unreasonable speed"?
Do we know of even a boat stop, or a warning, for "unreasonable speed"?
Can a boat operators drivers license be effected by an "unreasonable speed" conviction?
The legislature visited boat speed in 2006 and failed to enact a limit of any kind. That displays "legislative intent" that no speed, by itself, is unlawful.
If unsafe operation is illegal why do we need all those other regulations? Does that mean we do not need safe passage, bwi, night lighting etc.? Are they already covered?
