An older pedestrian is crossing slowly at a junction you are turning into. What should you do?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Wait patiently until the crossing is complete
- Step 1: Slower pedestrians keep their priority. Step 2. Wait, without pressure, until they are clear. Answer: Wait patiently until the crossing is complete. Why not the others: Edge forward slowly to hurry the pedestrian along: edging forward intimidates the pedestrian and could cause a collision. Turn quickly behind them: a close pass is dangerous if they stumble or pause. Sound the horn once and drive past: a horn will not speed them up and may startle them.
