I agree with you there, I personally feel the law should be anyone can drive as long as some one with a boating certificate is on board(and sober) similar to getting a cdl drivers license when I got mine many years ago I spent 2 weeks driving the routes with the regular driver with me, then went and took the test, and passed with no problems. I feel it was because of the 2 weeks of practical experience as well as reading the book.
But most laws seem to be written by idiots with no common sense, this is just another perfect example.
