All true but the chances of a jet ski pilot being even remotely aware of rite-a-way rules are slim to none! In all of my time on the water (esp on waterski lakes) I've noticed that people are very reluctant to hand the keys to their boats to friends, or younger children, but have no problem letting them take their 60mph hard to control rocketcraft for a whirl!
