Car permit · Right-of-way
Up ahead, a person is walking across your lane where there is no crosswalk. How should you respond?
Correct answer: Stop until the person reaches the other side.
Answer options
- AMake eye contact with the person, then drive past
- BReduce your speed and pass the person slowly
- CStop until the person reaches the other side Correct
Why
Drivers must take every precaution to avoid hitting a pedestrian, even one crossing where there is no marked crosswalk. Come to a stop and wait until the person has crossed, since eye contact or a slower speed does not make passing safe.
