the laws on my lake say you are fine without someone spotting as long as there is mirrors on the jet ski.

down here on the intercostal you can have a jet ski without a spotter as long as you have two mirrors. i would just go for and if you get stopped say you didn't know.. or if you want to play it safe just ask a local cop that patrols the waters by you.

marshro, well if a cop goes past you on the water and doesnt stop you then there isnt really a reason to stop them....

yeah only one cop per station has a taser at the moment so all the cops round the streets cannot zap us yet

Im pretty sure in all states in australia that you need a spotter. No matter if its a jetski or not. The laws for stuff on the water is just nuts aye.

its not that stupid when there is lives at risk..

and the cops just shot dead some 15 year old, he copped 10 shots and they claimed 'self defence' - he was 15 metres away, now everyone wants the cops to get tasers

cops are GHEY

Dylo im not talkin about having to have a spotter on a jet ski, that is neccessary, but some of the other laws and stuff jus go a bit far
