DETERMINING RISK OF COLLISION
If you want to know if you and another vessel will collide, you need to determine their "bearing drift." Steer a straight course, and see what the other vessel bears from you. If there is no bearing drift, and they're getting closer, you WILL collide. If the bearing changes to the right, the vessel will pass to your right (astern of you if they are forward of your beam), and if the bearing changes to the left, they'll cross ahead of you.
