4:
In a head-on situation with another boat
What should we do to avoid a collision?
- Alter course to starboard ( turn right) in ample time and be large enough to be readily apparent to the other boat
- Alter course to port (turn left) in ample time and be large enough to be readily apparent to the other boat
- Reduce speed or stop and see what the other boat does
- Accelerate to maximum speed and turn to the port (left)
- Alter course to starboard ( turn right) in ample time and be large enough to be readily apparent to the other boat
5:
When you are determining a safe speed to drive your boat which one of the following considerations is included in the Collision Regulations?
- If you are running late you can drive faster that what is a safe speed
- The traffic density at the time
- If you are carrying a large number of passengers onboard you may drive at a faster speed
- If you see the Water Police coming towards you slow down to avoid a speeding ticket
The traffic density at the time
6:
You are driving your boat and hear five short blasts of a horn coming from a larger boat heading towards you, what does this mean?
- The boat master is telling you they are altering course to starboard (right).
- The boat master is telling you they are altering course to port (left)
- The boat master is telling you to maintain your course and speed
- The boat master is telling you that they are unsure of your intentions or actions, or doubt whether sufficient action is being taken to avoid collision
The boat master is telling you that they are unsure of your intentions or actions, or doubt whether sufficient action is being taken to avoid collision
7:
If another boat is heading towards your boat from either beam (side) how do you determine if a risk of collision exists?
- We observe if the compass bearing of the other boat remains steady (other boat stays at the same angle) or the angle does not appreciably change
- We observe that there is an appreciable bearing change (other boat changes angle) evident of an approaching large vessel or tow at close range
- If there is any doubt at all in our minds we must deem a risk of collision does exist
- All of the above
- All of the above
8:
As stated in the Collision Regulations power driven boats must give way to
- Commercial boats engaged in trawling or fishing
- Sailing boats
- Boats constrained by their draft (ship in a shipping channel) or restricted in their ability to maneuver because of the nature of their work and boats unable to maneuver because of exceptional circumstances

The starboard (right) side as safe and practicable
11:
The Collision Regulations state what additional precautions we should take when navigating in conditions of restricted visibility, they are too?
Rely solely on your GPS to steer a course as it is always accurate
Rely on navigation aids and looking for other boats maintaining your cruising speed
Reduce to a safe speed, have engines ready for maneuver (drive with your hand on the throttle), turn on navigation lights, sound signals if appropriate, post additional lookouts & navigate with extreme caution
Rely on your previous local knowledge of the area and maintain your cruising speed monitoring the depth sounder
Reduce to a safe speed, have engines ready for maneuver (drive with your hand on the throttle), turn on navigation lights, sound signals if appropriate, post additional lookouts & navigate with extreme caution
12:
You are driving your power boat (A yellow) and see another power boat (B blue) approaching you on your starboard (right) side. You observe that a risk of collision exists and confirm you are in a crossing situation and at a distance of approximately 200 metres from the other boat.
What should you do (boat A) to avoid a collision?M4Q12
Increase your speed to you can cross in front of the other boat (boat B) without having to alter course
Turn to the port (left) and accelerate to top speed passing ahead of the other boat (boat B)
You have right of way so maintain your course and speed and the other boat (boat B) should give way to you
Give way to the other boat (boat B) by turning to starboard (right) crossing astern of (behind) the other boat or keep out of the way of the other vessel by slowing or stopping
Give way to the other boat (boat B) by turning to starboard (right) crossing astern of (behind) the other boat or keep out of the way of the other vessel by slowing or stopping

What should you do (boat A) to avoid a collision?M4Q13
Increase speed to try and pass in front of the other boat (boat B) without having to alter course
Slow down and see what the other boat (boat B) does
Maintain course and speed, but be prepared to take an appropriate action to avoid a collision if necessary
Give way to the other boat (boat B) by slowing or stopping
Maintain course and speed, but be prepared to take an appropriate action to avoid a collision if necessary
14:
You are driving your boat in the Brisbane River and see a steel barge with a crane on it’s deck and on it’s mast it is displaying day shapes consisting of a ball, diamond, ball in a vertical line.
What type of boat is it?M4Q14
The boat is not under command and has lost steering
The boat is restricted in ability to maneuver do to the nature of it’s work

15:
What navigation lights should be displayed between sunset and sunrise and in times of restricted visibility on a power boat under 12 metres in length whilst it is underway?
A port (red) navigation light visible from 112.5°
A starboard (green) navigation light visible from 112.5°
A 360° (all round) white light placed where it can be seen the best as close to the center line of the boat as possible and as high as possible
All the above lights should be displayed together
All the above lights should be displayed together
16:
A trawler that is trawling at night should display an additional light over it’s masthead or all round white light which is?

There is a diver down near this boat so keep well clear at least 30 metres and pass at slow speed
18:
What does this flag mean when displayed on a boat?A Flag
WHITE & BLUE
The boat is carrying dangerous goods
The boat is at anchor broken down
There is a diver down near this boat so keep well clear at least 30 metres and pass at slow speed

At all times
22:
You are underway in your powerboat and you see a sailing vessel with its sails up approaching you on your port side.
You watch this sailing boat for a while and determine the bearing between your boat and the sailing boat does not appreciably change therefore you establish there is a risk of collision.
What action should you take?
You should stand on as the sailing vessel is on your port side
You should continue on and see if the sailing vessel gives way to you
You should give way because power gives way to sail
You should speed up and pass on his bow
You should give way because power gives way to sail
23:
If a vessel like a passenger ferry or vehicle barge sounds three short blasts on its horn, what does that mean to you?
I am altering course to port
I am altering course to starboard
I am reversing or operating astern propulsion
I am unsure of your intentions
I am altering course to starboard
24:
You are travelling behind a passenger ferry in a harbour preparing to overtake and you hear it sound one short blast on its horn, what does that mean to you?
I am altering course to port
I am altering course to starboard
I am reversing or operating astern propulsion
I am unsure of your intentions
I am altering course to starboard
25:
Why should we keep clear of big ships and not cross too close to the bow of a ship underway?
From the ships bridge there is a large blind spot directly in front of the ship which makes it impossible for the captain or watchkeeper to see you
Ships are constrained by their draft and can only navigate in shipping channels due to depth
Ships are restricted in their ability to maneuver making it impossible for them to stop quickly or turn quickly to avoid a collision
All of the above
