How do you know that the driver had the right of way regardless? Massteve never told us who was on the right. What rule requires oncoming boats to slow down near tubers. As long as the 150' rule is obeyed, there is no requirement to slow down near tubers. Boats pulling tubers have no special right of way status.
Now when it comes to tubers, skiers, swimmers, divers or anyone else in the water, I always give a wide berth. Nothing scares me more than hitting a person with my boat.
