stop imposing more regulations on pwc!

We have enough safety regulations; our state motto is "Live free or die" not "add on more rules in order to make more revenue via fines and court fees".

This is vague, imprecise and extremely subject to misinterpretation. "... operate a personal water craft in a careless or negligent manner, or in a manner which unreasonably or unnecessarily endangers life, limb, or property, including but not limited to, weaving through congested watercraft traffic and swerving at the last moment to avoid collision."

Absurd. I first ran a jet ski on Newfound Lake when I was 10. I ran larger boats in salt water around the same time, maybe younger. A bit of instruction, some left/right limits, and some supervision. You can't be the boy/girl in a bubble until you're 87. Eventually you've got to go out and figure out how things work. Bumps and bruises add to the education. Quit contributing to a weaker country with dumb stuff like this bill.
