You can drive down the road and be hit by another car or even an afternoon cruise on the lake or river. Tell me what are the differences?

The difference is clear this is not a race, nor is this a sanctioned event. How is this not clear to you?

Maybe we should hold big turd cruisers responsible for plowing and throwing huge wakes.
