Every time I am out on the river, there is either a bloke waking us by close encounter, or boat on collision track who do not care to take distance. I have even seen some cruisers towing 2 children on an inflatable buoy crossing my track less then 20m in front of me... Do they expect me to be able to divert if one of the kid fall in the water? I am sure they have not enough brain cell to think about that.
The reality is that some people care about their security, the security of others and care about being well educated people, and some don't... Some people are polite some are not... I do not think it is only related to boating, just social, education and mind.
Proof that Darwin was right.
