What the youngsters going to do when the new law gets signed?
Must have boaters course to operate boat if born after 84 and must have Louisiana drivers license.:eek:
also.
Penalties for driving while intoxicated (DWI) now include the suspension or revocation of boating privileges when a person loses driving privileges due to suspension or revocation of their driver's license due to a DWI or DWI refusal whether the offense took place in a vehicle or a watercraft
Must complete boaters course by july 1st 2010

born after 84 and must have Louisiana drivers license.






WTH!?!?!?!

ouch
 

fool,
i can't remember where i saw that you had to have d.l.
but i know i saw the safety course on ldwf site
Beginning in July anyone born after January 1st, 1984 must successfully complete a boating safety course before getting behind the controls. And if you don't have a drivers license it is illegal to drive a boat.
this is frow wafb news site on the web.

I knew about the year change but I wasn't aware of the dl update.

Hmmmmm
 

I bet that this new law if enforced will cut the ammount of jet skis on the water in half.

wont cut any out. In order to drive jetskis you must be 16 and have a boater safety card.
The Drivers liscense is Bs with a boat, they couldnt just keep it simple and make everybody pass the boaters ed class

Odds are, ill be "grandfathered" in, if passed with the drivers liscense with a boat thing

i was watching one guy yesterday on a jet ski, he was making circles around a barge doing all kind of crazy ****, if he would have fell off it would not have been pretty.

Don't count on it fool, Better get to lobbying !

they grandfathered me in on the last boating rule:confused:

I took the class and the test a couple of years ago and I have the dl so I'm not worried about it...
