In the long run, this may not be a viable strategy or it might be better to expand it to other service providers like commercial ramps and launch services. I see this could become a "camel's nose" sort of thing but it might cut down on the folks who dont even know the Rules-Of-the-Road.
You can't outlaw stupid but you can try to limit ignorance. |
Maybe we should all wear them on our hats like the fishermen do !! LOL
Like I said above, I would rather see rules such as the 150' rule being enforced as well as give way etc. It is my opinion now that all boaters supposedly hold certificates (except for a ridiclous loophole that allows a 2 week temporary certificate (given by rental shops, etc who have a vested interested in those boaters passing)) that this process is as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I have seen no increase in the level of competence on this lake. This is not the fault of the MP- it is the fault of those that put their fun ahead of all of our safety!
