When overtaking a power-driven vessel, a sailing vessel operator should ensure they are aware of the other vessel's course and speed. The operator should maintain a safe distance and communicate their intentions if necessary. According to maritime rules, the overtaking vessel must keep clear of the vessel being overtaken, typically passing on the starboard side. Finally, the operator should always be vigilant for any changes in the other vessel's movements to ensure a safe passage.
An example of reckless or negligent operation of a vessel is a boat operator who exceeds the speed limit in a crowded area, failing to maintain a proper lookout and colliding with another vessel. Additionally, operating a vessel while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, leading to impaired judgment and unsafe maneuvers, exemplifies negligence. Both scenarios endanger the safety of passengers and other waterway users.
