🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 8 – Action to Avoid Collision (Navigation Rules) • Difference between required actions and optional/situational actions • Meaning of positive action and in ample time in collision avoidance

💭 Think About

• Which option describes something that must always be true for any collision-avoidance maneuver, regardless of visibility, sound signals, or specific situation? • Is sounding a signal or changing speed always mandatory, or does the rule focus on the nature and timing of the action itself? • Look at the exact wording of Rule 8: what two key qualities must every avoiding action have?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 8 whether sound signals are mentioned as an absolute requirement for any avoiding action. • Check if Rule 8 says that a speed change is always required, or only that alterations of course and/or speed should be large enough to be apparent. • Identify the precise phrase in Rule 8 that describes how actions to avoid collision shall be taken (focus on the words about being ‘positive’ and ‘in ample time’).
