Which pair lists two road users in the correct order in the hierarchy of road users, from the greater responsibility to the lesser?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Bus driver, then motorcyclist
- Step 1: Order the road users by the harm they could cause: lorries and buses, vans, cars, motorcycles, horses, cyclists, pedestrians. Step 2. A bus driver carries more responsibility than a motorcyclist, so the pair 'Bus driver, then motorcyclist' is in the right order. Answer: Bus driver, then motorcyclist. Why not the others: Each of the other pairs is reversed: cars outrank cyclists, horse riders outrank pedestrians, and vans outrank motorcycles.
