If it's violated that often, it shows that the law is not practical or needed. If you read the actual verbiage on the "150 ft rule" I still believe that the safe passage rule is the result of unintended consequences. 150 ft from shore or other fixed objects makes sense. Between two moving boats, not so much.
To my knowledge, there are no other States that have a "safe passage" rule. Go to in ME, VT, MA and it's not a problem and people are much less uptight IMO
