I'm not even happy with the level of road traffic regulation we have on roads (especially cameras). >There is a qualitative difference between the two, based >on the fact that there are so many more cars than boats in use; and that >most of the journeys on canals are done for pleasure, whereas most of those >done on roads are for work. IMHO the first is a different of quantity and we are talking about quality. The second is simply irrelevant. Who cares why a vehicle is moving in this context? OTOH if someone runs into my barge with his boat (when I am not aboard) and does significant damage, and then cruises away without leaving me a message, I want to be sure that a towpath walked will be able unquestionably to identify his boat. So, I want a clear registration number etc. on all boats. Adrian Adrian Stott 07956-299966
