Under the Canadian Collision Regulations, which vessel has the right of way over power-driven vessels?

  1. Any vessel longer than 20m

  2. Vessels not under command or restricted in their ability to maneuver

  3. All power-driven vessels

  4. Vessels with the loudest horn

The correct answer is: Vessels not under command or restricted in their ability to maneuver

The Canadian Collision Regulations state that vessels not under command or restricted in their ability to maneuver have the right of way over power-driven vessels. A is incorrect because length is not a determining factor in right of way. C is incorrect because it is a blanket statement that is not applicable in all situations. D is incorrect because having the loudest horn does not give a vessel the right of way. Only vessels designated as not under command or restricted have this right.
