Randomly stopping people just to check their knowledge to me personally doesn't make any sense. What's next pulling people over in their (our) cars and asking us "what do you do at a stop sign?" I've had my boating certificate 20(+) (?) years do I remember every rule and every color out there? Nope... BUT...I'm also courteous and do not venture out to areas I'm not familiar. I could not blindly take the test today and pass it to save my life. What percentage of people would you guess that have been boating for 10+ years could randomly (without studying) take the test and pass it? I'm guessing the number would be shockingly low.
