When is it illegal for the operator of a vessel to tow a person?

During bad weather
When the boat is full
From one hour after sunset until sunrise
Without a life jacket

The correct answer is: From one hour after sunset until sunrise

The correct answer is not A, B, or D because an operator cannot tow a person at any time if they are not wearing a life jacket, regardless of weather conditions or how many people are already on the boat. It is not safe to tow someone without a life jacket, so this rule applies at all times. Option C, from one hour after sunset until sunrise, is the only time during which it is explicitly illegal for an operator to tow a person. During this time frame, visibility is reduced, making it more dangerous to tow someone behind a vessel. Therefore, it is important for boaters to be aware of this restriction and only tow someone during daylight hours.
