Should be banned?

Having just watched the latest offering from this often entertaining series, [Timothy and Pru West] I am beginning to agree with those that wish to ban these two from the inland waterways.

At times is does seem to be a case of 'if it doesn't move, hit it'. Captain Tim's appalling lack of control at times is due in part to his attitude of doing nothing to avoid a collision.

Just once last night he (at the very last minute) reached for the throttle to at least slow the boat down if not stop and reverse it. Unfortunately on this occasion he hit a bridge.

His lack of regard for limits on cruising after dark are almost beyond belief, I only hope any new comers to boating are dissuaded from following his example. Perhaps a follow-up episode correcting these mistakes might be in order.
