In regard to your last comment about Slowride labeling MP checks an inconvenience, it seems like every holiday there is always someone complaining about the MP checks and people getting "picked on" out on the water.

In your words, "It's the overchecking and hawking by them that annoys people at times". While that isn't a direct statement against the process it points to an undercurrent opinion prevailing on the forums, deny it or not.

I am very thankful for everyone of those checks and especially so when I see a boat being towed and someone in handcuffs. Like Dillakilla said, it is never an accident when a person chooses to drink and drive. It is selfish behavior to put one's "good time" before the safety of everyone else.

Shame on anyone who makes those foul, irresponsible choices, and shame on those who depreciate the severity of the situation.

When, not if, is the next drinking/boating "accident" going to occur? Who is going to suffer the loss of their loved ones? All for the price of someone else to have a "good time"?
