Inappropriate yielding should be penalised just like lack of appropriate yielding. At sea the COLREGS require ships with right of way to maintain their course

Inappropriate yielding should be penalised just like lack of appropriate yielding.
At sea the COLREGS require ships with right of way to maintain their course and speed (unless of course they have to give way to another ship, or make evasive maneuvers). Of course fishermen tend to ignore this rule, changing their course and speed whenever convenient to them.
