Maybe I don't understand
Maybe it’s me, and please corrects me if I am wrong. I thought there was already a law on the books to protect ALL boaters. Reckless boating.
Please indulge me as I use a completely fictitious example.
For a setting lets use the Broads, just east of Rattlesnake. On this particular day the broads are very congested. There a many performance boaters moving at 6 miles per hour or just drifting.
Along comes a high performance yellow and red neon kayak. The music is blasting; I believe it’s the band Phish. This is no ordinary kayak, it’s a Sea Kayak. This baby is doing 90 as it approaches the peaceful performance boats, it does not slow down. Due to the incredible skills of the driver, the sea kayak navigates by every performance boat and manages to stay 150 feet away from every one of them. Unfortunately the defenseless performance boats get tossed around a bit by the wakes, and paddle splashes of the Sea Kayak but nobody is injured.
Now I was under the impression, if something like this happened, the MP could give a ticket to the Kayaker under the reckless boating.
Am I mistaken?
