Lake George NY is a good example of what happens after a speed limit is introduced.........boaters get the message, quickly.

I heard that only NH residents would get points on their driver's license. I don't believe other states will put this ticket on their out-of-state driver licenses. My good driver points may not be gone with a speeding ticket on Lake Winnipesaukee. I could be wrong here. Does anyone have better knowledge on this?
I passed quite a few speed traps this year. I didn't notice them until I was well past them. They were very good at hiding. I seriously doubt every speeding boat saw these as speed traps and slowed down in time. It's a pretty weak argument. I'm sure it happened occasionally, but to say it happened in every case is, excuse me, idiocy.
Has anyone thought how easy it would be to beat these tickets in court? I've downloaded and read the Speed report. There's quite a bit of data in there to discredit the use of radar on the lakes. And it's coming from, what I believe the courts would agree on, a creditable source, the NH Marine Patrol.
