Thanks for the explanation guys, I understand now – this bill, is not a ban – and is about safety. I know that human life if precious to all of us, so I would suggest the following:

It would appear that a majority of the deaths and injuries on inland lakes involve PWC.
In order to help make our lakes a safer place it would only make sense to lobby for a ban on these dangerous devices that kill and injure so many of our friends and neighbors.

Some boats on the lake are going far too fast. We do not even have the safety of median walls or airbags (other than using some people I know); to prevent high speed collisions or help save us if one occurs. It would be prudent to ban any watercraft capable of exceeding 25 MPH – our legislators can certainly drop those speeds in the future if they feel the need.

Lanes of traffic flow will need to be clearly defined by buoys, and of course we will have to make some areas of the lake limited access, and install traffic control systems at areas like the Blue Creek/Tallapoosa River convergence, I mean interchange.

Please help me with this, people are dying, and it is our duty to make the lake as safe as possible for everyone.
