During which time is it illegal to operate a personal watercraft?

  1. Between sunrise and sunset

  2. Between sunset and sunrise

  3. During heavy rainfall

  4. During windy conditions

The correct answer is: Between sunset and sunrise

Operating a personal watercraft is illegal between sunset and sunrise due to safety regulations designed to protect both the operator and others on the water. At night, visibility is significantly reduced, making it more difficult to see other boats, obstacles, or navigational markers. This lack of visibility increases the risk of accidents and can lead to dangerous situations for operators and passengers alike. The regulations aim to ensure that personal watercraft are used under optimal conditions where operators can maintain a clear view of their surroundings and navigate safely. This nighttime restriction helps to enhance safety on the water by minimizing the chances of collisions and accidents that are more likely to happen when visibility is compromised.
