Subject: [EVDL] Electric boat speeding ticket (1st one I'm told)
Hi Folk's,
I just got a "court summons" to appear in criminal court in Covington, VA as
a "criminal offense" up to $500 and 6 months jail time, points on my drivers
license for driving my www.evalbum.com/2749 E-Cat at 3 *three* miles per
hour in a no wake zone while getting a "safety check" by 3 police
officers/game wardens. I took photos of the 6hp electric boat & behind it
at 3mph showing no wake on a 10mph windy day and looked up the definition
which is operating below 6mph to be in compliance. I also have schematics
to show the judge on July 7th at 2pm.
At least they were equal oportunity revenue gatherers, it seamed like
everyone leaving the dock that Saturday was getting a court summons for
court appearance. When I lived in Colorado & Maryland they were called
"tickets" and just had a fine attached. This is a whole different world.
Moral to story: It's better to go electric boating on Sunday, half the
people and much less cops harassing folk's.
Have a renewable energy day,
Mark
