I guess our laws against over-serving drinks are not fully enforceable or fully obeyed. So maybe we should not bother to have them?

Speed limits are working!

Speed limits are working! The boating speed limit laws that have been enacted over recent years on the lakes throughout RI, CT, and MA, and on many of the lakes in NY, and on more than forty of NH's...

He is a public official doing a very bad job. He, more than anyone else, is not above criticism. It is our right and our duty to besmirch him. The very fact that he sat there and said to the...

IL,
We agree in most cases, but not here. There is not a single jurisdiction that has tried a 60mph limit, so we have no evidence that a 60mph limit will work, as 45mph limits have been proven to...

Aubrey,
Unfortunately, Our MP director does not agree, and that has just fed the flames. Last January, he was asked point blank by one if the RR&D committee members "Surely you must feel that some...

Here's a quote from a fellow on the other local site that has been a pretty vocal opponent to HB162 there, up until he read to Lake George story today;

The silence here from the opposition about the "facts" put forth in this article is pretty deafening. Is SP's rather Simian reply the official response? Are you all agreeing that the position of your...

Noise Limit is not a substitute for a Speed Limit

Not me, and not anyone of the speed limit advocates I have dealt with. They are pretty universally just concerned about the dangers of high speed boating on our crowded lakes and about the safety...

Woodsy,
Are these the speeds of the "hitting" boat or the "hit" boat that the victims were in? How could 810 accidents have been caused by "hitting" boats that were "not moving"?

Woodsy,
I have been quietly enjoying this debate and it seems that the GFBL crowd just digs itself into a deeper and deeper hole with each post. Hope you will not be offended if I weigh in.

Skip,
Can you give any specific examples where a court has released a speeder on this basis? Was this in NH? Where in the statutes or case law is this burden on the officer addressed?

My point was that if someone going 40 mph can't notice a pontoon boat ahead of them and stop in time, then noticing and stopping at 70 seems a bit more difficult, and a lot more dangerous, eh? But I...

You may want to adjust your foil hat, you wouldn't want the "liberal media" to find out that you're on to their conspiracies.

Restaraunt,

I understand that you take pride in your ability to search through posts, but I don't see how that previous statement conflicts with what I just said.
