It also had nothing to do with speed since they could still cut across you bow at 25 mph. Which could have wound up being worse , since they may not have cleared your bow in time. Sounds more like the 150' law anyway.
So since Captain Bonehead already broke the 150' rule what makes you think they would observe the speed limit?
