New Hampshire Speed Limit Update: House vote coming soon! posted by Wiley Russell Jr
The New Hampshire State House will take up HB-847, the bizarre state wide boating speed limit, in the next two weeks. The AWA believes you know best what speeds are safe and prudent, and the Marine Patrol already has enough to do without the burden of setting up speed traps in coves. Enforcing the current law should be the focus.
Add your voice to ours, thousands of fellow boaters, and hundreds of businesses in the Granite State in opposing HB-847. Please contact your state house member and urge them to stand for the mainstream and freedom.
This past summer, the Marine Patrol conducted test speed zones on Lake Winnipesaukee. The results, as expected, clearly showed that boat speeds are not a problem.
