Sb-28 a collision could occur when the distance decreases and bearing between two vessels does what?

A collision happens when the distance between two boats decreases and the bearings aren't changing.

To avoid collisions, the operators should master the Rules of the Road. The operators should be able to determine if his boat is a Stand-On Vessel (maintains course and speed) or the give-way vessel (the "burdened" vessel which gives way to the stand-on vessels), and maneuver accordingly.
