After a collision, what is one of the actions you must take?

  1. Speed away quickly

  2. Ignore and continue your journey

  3. Identify yourself and your boat

  4. Turn off the boat's lights

The correct answer is: Identify yourself and your boat

After a collision, it is important to immediately identify yourself and your boat to the other party involved. This is necessary for insurance and legal purposes. Speeding away quickly (A) is not a responsible or appropriate response, as it is important to address any damage or injuries that may have occurred. Ignoring the collision and continuing on your journey (B) is also not a proper course of action, as it may result in further consequences. Turning off the boat's lights (D) is also not a necessary step, as identification and communication with the other party should be prioritized.
