Alabama Boating License Practice Test

When approaching a U.S. Naval vessel, it is important for recreational vessels to slow down to minimum speed to ensure safety. While option A of 300 yards may seem like a reasonable distance, it is actually too short as it could still potentially put the recreational vessel at risk. Option C of 1000 yards is too far and would be excessive since the safest distance for slowing down would be less than that. Option D of 200 yards is also too short and would not allow enough reaction time for both vessels to slow down safely. Therefore, option B of 500 yards is the most appropriate distance for the recreational vessel to slow to minimum speed when approaching a U.S. Naval vessel.
