"Right of Way" question

Bizer · 07-08-2018, 08:03 PM

Back in Coast Guard O.C.S., which, I'm ashamed to say, was fifty years ago, we were taught several unwritten rules-of-the-road which I still heed to this day.

You don't want the right of way because the other Bozo may not know the rules-of-the-road. It's better to maneuver around them instead of wondering if they are going to maneuver around you.
Ferry boat operators interpret the rules-of-the-road to their own advantage. They have schedules to keep.
Men in over-powered boats with a scantily-clad co-pilot think they are God's gift to the high seas.
