BASIC RULES OF THE ROAD
2-5
Overtaking
If you are passing another vessel, you are the give-
way vessel. This means that the other vessel is
expected to maintain its course and speed. You must
stay out of its way until you are clear of it. Likewise, if
another vessel is passing you, you should maintain
your speed and direction so that the other vessel can
steer itself around you.
