Come on. The radio has it's place and some meeting situations demand

every situation this simple, nobody would be able to get a word in
edgewise.

If a vessel clearly is either not keeping a watch or blatantly
violating the right of way rules, why waste time on the radio?


Total self serving BS.

That would make for an interesting defence in court.
