Safe driving 2 pts
A pedestrian at a crosswalk signals an intention to cross the road by waving a white blind cane in the direction of crossing. How do you react?
Correct answer
- Reduce speed or stop the vehicle before the crosswalk and allow the pedestrian to cross the road undisturbed and safely.
Other options
- Continue driving because a blind person without an escort must not cross the road.
- Signal with an audible warning that they cannot cross the road and continue driving.
Explanation
