The Marine Patrol determined the speed of the boat to be 28 mph. These are facts not in dispute. Therefore the statement is incorrect.
Some point out that the MP might be wrong about the speed, and many believe that only 3 mph over the proposed limit is insignificant.

The Marine Patrol ESTIMATED the speed to be 28 mph. May I respectfully suggest you look that up in your Websters or Funk and Wagnalls. Given the inaccuracy and design of the faces , trying to obtain accuracy , 3 mph at 25 to 28 is hard to determine. Now throw in darkness and what angle your looking at it from(standing or sitting) it become more difficult. And lets not forget , the whole time you have to be keeping a lookout ahead.
Now if you still believe 3 mph is SO significant , may I suggest you sit in the back of a boat and get struck from behind at 25 mph
I wouldn't want to. Now you see the point , how INSIGNIFICANT 3 mph really is.
