This is one of those, "you have to be kidding me" stories!! I can not remember a single time when I'm with other folks who either drive the boat on the trailer or if I'm the one who drives it on the trailer after the strap and safety chain is attached does not stay in the boat tilting up the engines, turning off electronics, etc. until the boat is pulled away from the ramp to let other boaters access to the ramp. Stupid ticket is the proper description.

I would say, what would be more dangerous, being in the boat while someone pulls up the ramp, or jumping from the boat to the dock. I don't jump anymore.
Concerning being in a boat on a trailer, we were in a state park in Texas and it was interesting watching people in boats being pulled around the campground. Not talking one or two, but several different boats with multiple people in each one. Weird
