Are you saying the accident rate on Lake George is worse since speed limits?
Did anyone ever claim a speed limit on Winnipesaukee would prevent all accidents?
Or is this report just sour grapes sensationalism of an event unrelated to speed limits?

“Often we hear that the implementation of speed limits on Lake George has been a success.“ Yep Skip, we’ve heard that often. Skip continues “Unless and until you consider a CRIME like this.” Thanks for something to
consider Skip.
Skip said speed limits didn't seem to have any effect on the drivers choice to BUI.
We should all be able to agree to that FACT, even BI. The drunk was charged with
violating the speed limit. This story somehow involves speed limits.
The
speeding boat on Lake George (the one with the 40 mph speed limit) flies through the air and lodges between trees (in the above news report). The driver was charged with:
boating while intoxicated, reckless operation of a vessel and exceeding the 5 mph speed limit.
All laws and regulations already in place on Winnie (well 6 mph instead of 5) without HB847 and NOT a violation of their 40 mph speed limit. That's what it is, period.
I can't speak for Skip but I believe Skip's post stands on it's own. Skip is not saying anything more than he already said - leaving the reader to reflect on the information.
The possibilities are not limited to BI's queries or 4 choices. Skip said speed limits didn't seem to have any effect on the drivers choice to Boat Under the Influence (BUI).
We should all be able to agree to that FACT, even BI.
