There are a lot of foolish boaters on the lake. But very few that are stupid enough to go full speed directly toward a boat with "Marine Patrol" on the side in two foot letters.
And I imagine traveling directly toward the MP at 90mph would be considered reckless operation by the officers on board. Even if you did change course before 150'.
Speed data collected by marked boats is useless. Any other interpretation is idiotic. You people would agree except that you THINK it supports your argument.
Speed limits are enforced on dozens of NH lakes without speed traps, radar or radar trained officers. For the most part speed limits are self enforcing. Most people are law abiding. Yes, they will go a little over a speed limit, just like on the highways. However serious infractions are rare.
Is there an enforcement problem on the NH lakes that have speed limits now?
