What is an overtaking vessel required to do?

  1. Sound a horn loudly

  2. Increase speed

  3. Give way

  4. Do nothing

The correct answer is: Give way

An overtaking vessel is required to give way to any vessel passing it. This means it should slow down and allow the passing vessel to safely navigate around it. Choosing option A or B would not necessarily result in a safe passing situation and choosing option D would not fulfill the obligation to give way.
