Be careful what you wish for. More legislation, no thanks.

TX has the same law, except only it is born after Sep 1 1993. For any type of boat / PWC above 15hp.

This year in Washington anyone under 60 is now required. It has been phasing in for the last few years now.

I never knew this was a Michigan law, good thing I'm old as dirt

Millions of people have certificates (licenses) to drive, They are even tested before they can get one.

No more need for insurance and traffic court, correct? They have a certificate after all, know the laws, and won't break them..

It's all window dressing, arseholes will be arseholes, piece of paper or not.

So true! Not to mention A) the law isn't well known and B ) GAURANTEED won't stop the vast majority of people from violating it.

Wonder what this does for rentals.

I don't get the hatred for PWC's. I dig it when they jump our wake. I don't dig it when they turn in front of me but I don't dig it when a dumb azz in a boat does it either!
