Seems to me that this is an attempt to legislate behavior that should have been learned and practiced at an earlier age?? Prior generations??
100 feet may be an arbitrary number. But, driving a vessel at speed any closer than 100 feet of a dock, a downed skier, an anchored boat, a lone swimmer, and many other situations is simply "RUDE", not to mention the danger involved. Just dumb. But, it still happens every day on LM.
Just like it happens as "RoadRage in LA" or Birmingham, or at a restaurant, or WalMart, everywhere today. It is a symptom of the current time. "Get out of my way, I'm here to party, I am bulletproof, and, I DO NOT CARE".
And, the 100 foot law cannot be enforced.
"Just my opinion. I could be wrong"
