Exclamation Clinton Lake Speed Limit ?

Hey guys what's the word around town about this? This is the first I've heard of it. I don't really disagree with the night speed limits, but even at the lakes that have them accidents happen all the time.

Here's the Pantagraph article from today's wipe:

A night time speed limit doesn't sound like a bad idea. A daytime speed limit would probably move our boat to Shelbyville.

Unless the speed limit was 65mph, then it would be OK until we find more horsepower.

I have spent about 10 nights at the lake this year, have not really witnessed a "speed" problem at night. Given the circumstances of the accident, I don't think it would have mattered anyway.

The perch jerkers will end up fighting that one if the county gets serious about it. They haul azz every where they go.......

There are speed limits on the road and that doesn't stop people from speeding and ending up in accidents caused by excessive speed. You cannot say a speed limit after dark would have prevented this accident. There is already a speed limit on the lake. I believe it is 45 MPH. I have yet to see it enforced. The perch jerkers are the biggest offenders.

It'll be interesting to see what comes of this. I agree no matter what the speed limit was the dude would've crashed anyway. Even at the usual 30 mph night limit it would've done some damage.

Although a night time speed limit is not a bad idea, I don't think it will change anything.

Where the heck has Rich been? Haven't heard from him for awhile.
