If you've been injured in a boating accident anywhere in California from Point Loma or Harbor Island in San Diego, CA, to Newport Beach, or Huntington Beach in Orange County, from San Pedro or Long Beach to Ventura or Santa Barbara, or been to Spring Break on any lake in California, you've probably been wondering if the California state legislators are planning on writing any new laws to try to prevent boating accidents.
I had heard that the state's legislators were rushing to pass a new laws to prevent boating accidents so I called one of my state Senators to try to get a sneak peak at how this would affect boaters in California and personal injury victims. I was in for a shock.
"You're outlawing what?" I asked.
"Boating!" the Senator exclaimed. "That'll stop boating accidents."
"You can't do that," I said.
"We can't?" he asked.
"Why don't you outlaw cars to prevent car accidents," I said.
"I see your point," the Senator said. "The oil industry people would be furious."
"What's your fallback plan to help prevent boating accidents?" I asked.
"Prohibit swimmers?"I shook my head.
"Prohibit water skiing," the Senator offered.
I shook my head again."How long has the Senate been at this" I asked.
The Senator frowned. "Ever since we got bogged down on immigration."
I raised my eyebrows. "Surely someone came up with a proposal that might actually reduce boating accidents."
"You should have heard some of the proposals," the Senator said laughing."No removal of any articles of clothing on the boats was one suggestion, the thought being to cut down on distractions, but since a lot of the Senators are men and spring break being so much fun...."
"Let me guess," I said. "That one went down in flames?"
The Senator did a pantomime of a plane crashing into the sea.
"Someone suggested lowering the speed limits for boats," the Senator said, "but other Senators said the speed limits were already so low in the bays, they were taking all the fun out of boating."
"Were there any other proposals?"
"Lots of them. Requiring look outs, radar warning systems, bright colors on the boats, louder fog horns, more coast guard patrols, and training more dolphins."
"Training more dolphins to do what?" I asked. "To plant explosives on boats exceeding the speed limits?"
The Senator shrugged. "Those all failed anyway as being too costly."
"What's the Senate going to do if they can't make boating any safer?"
"We've already done it," the Senator said.
"What's that?"
"We adjourned and went on summer recess early," the Senator said smiling.
