We're missing the Coast Guard's definition of excessive speed. The NH lawmakers have had their take at it, but it would be nice to understand what definition the pros use when they check that box.
I still think it would be interesting to know how many lawmakers have a boater's certificate. There is no doubt that excessive speed is the cause of accidents, but there is signficant doubt that 45/25 is always excessive speed. Sometimes, like at night and in the fog, excessive speed may mean anything over headway. That's why previously existing laws mentioned reasonable and prudent.
