Question 49Rules of the Road90% to pass

BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND When does the rule regarding look-outs apply?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above. The rule regarding look-outs applies at all times, whether it is between dusk and dawn, in heavy traffic, or in restricted visibility. This is stipulated in both the International and Inland Navigational Rules (COLREGS). A proper look-out must be maintained at all times to be aware of the situation around the vessel and to take appropriate action to avoid collisions. The other options are incorrect because the requirement for a proper look-out is not limited to only those specific situations, but is a general requirement for safe navigation.
