A pedestrian steps onto a zebra crossing ahead of you. What must you do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Stop and let the pedestrian cross
- Step 1: Pedestrians on a marked crossing have priority. Step 2. Slow down, stop before the crossing and wait. Answer: Stop and let the pedestrian cross. Why not the others: Sound your horn and continue past the crossing: a horn does not remove the pedestrian's priority on the crossing. Accelerate to pass first: speeding up to beat the pedestrian risks hitting someone who has priority. Flash lights and keep going: flashing lights do not give you the right of way over a pedestrian already crossing.
