Safety at sea - Prevention of collisions

170: Observance of Collision Regulations

You could also call this:

"Follow the rules to stop boats crashing into each other"

You must follow the Collision Regulations. The rules are in place to prevent collisions. A law called section 170 used to be about following these rules, but it is no longer in effect because it was repealed on 2 February 1998 by section 187.
