I'm sure it has, but I don't think it's appropriate or feasible for boats. It's just a tax. Cars require a test, minimal though it is. I assume you mean a driving test, as opposed to a written one. The states that require boat operators' licenses do require a written test. I think either for a car has some affect on safety being enhanced. I mean, if you can't pass a simple written test, you shouldn't be behind the wheel. Not at all sure it wouldn't be feasible to have an underway test for boats. True, each test would take a bit longer than with a car, but there are far fewer boats on the water than cars on the road. I don't think it would be feasible either, but it would be interesting to see pilot program results! -- Jonathan Ganz (j gan z @ $ail no w.c=o=m) http://www.sailnow.com "If there's no wind, row." |
