Regardless of the laws and what we need to do as boater’s, someone lost a child over carelessness. Mocking the law and making unnecessary statements aren’t gonna change New York State’s way nor will it bring back an innocent child. I’m sure most avid boaters and fishermen will do what they need to do in order to enjoy there passion for the outdoors.
You're making my point.
Obviously were stuck with the law and the enforcement hammer. None of it is actually going to make boating safer. But it destroys freedom like eating an elephant. One bite at a time.
Most avids would have done those things from want and not need. They're not the problem. The wantonly ignorant will continue to be wantonly ignorant.
Any actual evidence to prove a safety class really makes a difference?
