If one has no operator's license, is there much that can be done (beyond constant fines) to a habitual Winnipesuakee speed limit offender?

Four times is a bit much, and I doubt he was doing 50 or 55 the first couple of times. It's pretty obvious from the statistics that there aren't many cowboys out there. The MP, widely derided during their testing period by SL proponents, was spot-on accurate in their assessment. My guess is that if the daytime SL was 55, that one 50' operator would account for 75% of all tickets.
I realize that in any activity, there are those that push the envelope and beyond. Some of them are prudent and safety-conscious, some are just wild and need to be reigned in. The vast majority of issues reflect the total disregard for the safe passage rule.
