Question 15 Rules of the Road

90% to pass

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When shall a proper look-out shall be maintained?

A at all times
B only at night
C at night and during restricted visibility
D only during restricted visibility
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) at all times. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS) and the Inland Navigation Rules, a proper lookout must be maintained at all times, regardless of the time of day or visibility conditions. This is a fundamental requirement for safe navigation, as it allows the vessel to take appropriate action to avoid collisions with other vessels or obstacles. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the full extent of the requirement. Maintaining a lookout only at night or during restricted visibility would not be sufficient to comply with the regulations and ensure the safety of the vessel and its crew.
