Car permit · Right-of-way
Someone with a white cane or a guide dog is in the roadway ahead. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop and wait until the person has completely left the road.
Answer options
- ADrive slowly around the person
- BSound your horn so the person knows you are there
- CStop and wait until the person has completely left the road Correct
Why
Pedestrians who are blind or have low vision, as a white cane or guide dog shows, always have the right-of-way, so stop and stay stopped until they have completely left the road. Honking can startle or confuse them, and driving around them puts them in danger.
