1. Drinking alcohol before or while operating a vessel:
•
• Answer: Slows your judgement and reaction time
• Rationale: Alcohol depresses the central nervous system, which impairs balance,
slows physical reaction time, and diminishes cognitive judgment [1.4]. This
significantly increases the risk of accidents on the water.
•
2. The breath alcohol level that a boater would be considered under
the influence would be ____. If injury or death occurs, it would be
considered a felony operating a boat under the influence of alcohol.
1
, •
• Answer: .08
• Rationale: Under Florida law, a blood or breath alcohol level (BAL) of 0.08% or
higher establishes a legal presumption of boating under the influence (BUI). If the
impaired operator causes serious bodily injury or death to another individual, the
offense is elevated to a felony.
•
3. In Florida it is illegal to operate any vessel at a speed that:
•
• Answer: Endangers the life and/or property of another person
• Rationale: Vessel speed must always be safe and reasonable for the given conditions.
Operating at speeds that pose an imminent risk to other people, nearby vessels, docks,
or wildlife is legally classified as reckless or careless operation.
•
4. Who must wear a life jacket while on a personal watercraft (PWC)?
(Note: jackets must be in excellent condition)
•
• Answer: All of the above (Every person on board or being towed)
• Rationale: Because PWCs are highly maneuverable, fast, and open to the elements,
everyone riding on them or being towed behind them must wear an approved,
properly fitted life jacket at all times.
•
5. Which action may cause the loss of steering ability in a PWC?
•
• Answer: Letting off the throttle control
• Rationale: Jet-propelled personal watercraft require the forceful thrust of water from
the jet pump to turn. If you release the throttle or shut off the engine, you lose the
stream of water required to steer the vessel.
•
6. It is illegal for anyone under ___ to rent a PWC in Florida.
•
