Bear Islander,

The burden of proof lies squarely on your and the supporters shoulders. It's not up to me to provide hypothetical situations in which speed might be a factor.

You go ahead and list all the fatal accidents or accidents that involved injury in the state of New Hampshire that involved a boat traveling in excess of the arbitrary magic number of 45MPH. That is your burden not mine. I'm not the one trying to pass a law. I just want the MP to enforce the existing laws that are designed with safety in mind. Not some random 45MPH limit that is based on nothing.
