This survey also doesn't account for those 0.29% that were driving recklessly....
Whatever you do, don't ask any of the speed limit supporters to show evidence that excessive speed (over the proposed limits) is a main factor in any accidents on the lake. They will give one example from a night time accident a couple years ago, and that is all they have.

What one thing do a majority of the boating accidents have in common?
Here is a hint...it begins with a guy named AL...
