I think the ratio is like 5 out of 100 that don't follow this rule. The majority of boat operators I cross paths with seem to know what to do and do it. I will say though that many slow down to give way because they didn't react early enough. I hate wasting gas like that...

IMO, the problem is so rare now that when it does occur, it really stands out now. 10 years ago, it was quite a bit worse.
