Who had the right of way here?

In the case of the second vid, my reading of the rules are that it was a crossing situation, so the boat being hit was probably "right" but should have tried to avoid the collision. And, the boat that was taking the vid should have avoided the situation. I would assign 60% fault to the boat from which the vid was taken and 40% to the boat that was hit. I'm sure there is precedence that the court would look at also. |

Everyone is truly glad you're too stupid to even contemplate owning a boat. |
