What motor vehicle laws apply in this case?
Posted on Mar 05, 2010 under snowmobile motor |I live lakefront in Canada and there are snowmobiles, 4 wheelers, cars and trucks on the lake having a blast on a daily basis. My question is, apart from drinking and driving, what other laws apply to cars and trucks on the lake? There certainly is no posted speed limit, so what laws apply? Just curious
Here in California, we have bears (cops) patrolling all waters, and you can be busted for ANY kind of reckless behavior, including driving a boat under the influence, speed, overload, and a HOST of other offenses, so common sense should be used at all times.
I THINK the same would be true on a frozen body of water.

I would think vehicle laws would apply only to roadways and not lakes. I would think the local police could answer this better than Yahoo folks.
