Canadian Boating Exam Practice Quiz

As the operator of a stand-on vessel, you must maintain course and speed. Although it may seem like changing course or stopping would be the safer option, these actions could actually be more dangerous for both vessels involved. By maintaining your course and speed, you are providing a predictable path for the give-way vessel to avoid a collision. Signaling the give-way vessel to stop is also incorrect, as it is their responsibility to take action to avoid a collision.
