Question: 1 / 400

How do you know when you are operating your vessel at a safe speed?

You are going the same speed as others

You have enough time to avoid a collision

When operating a vessel, it is important that you are able to avoid collisions and maintain control of your vessel. Therefore, the best way to determine if you are operating at a safe speed is by ensuring that you have enough time to react and make any necessary maneuvers to avoid a collision. Choosing option A, C, or D would not accurately indicate if you are traveling at a safe speed. Going the same speed as others does not account for varying conditions or the abilities and decisions of other boaters. A small wake can still be created at unsafe speeds and following the posted speed limits does not necessarily guarantee a safe speed in all situations.
