Have the boaters born before 1957 caused all the accidents in New Hampshire? Because they are the only ones that didn't need safe boating certificates last summer.
When I read the comparison with Vermont it makes me wonder what they are doing right, and what we are doing wrong. When the opposition reads it they wonder, "how can we explain this away"!

And yet again, not one single proponent can prove with facts that the speed limit would have prevented any of the accidents listed. Who is in denial?
The sad thing is, that I am willing to bet the 2006 stats will be used to show how the speed limit works. Somehow, those 6 paddling accidents will have been prevented by a speed limit.
