Question 3934
In this situation, the driver must…
- reduce speed and take extra precautions.
- drive normally, without worrying about the person's presence, since they are walking on the sidewalk.
- sound the horn repeatedly to warn the person of the vehicle's presence, but never reduce speed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: reduce speed and take extra precautions.
In the image, a woman with a white cane is on the sidewalk, near the curb and the crosswalk. She cannot see you coming and may step into the roadway at any moment, so you slow down, take extra care, and stop if necessary. The fact that she is still on the sidewalk does not mean you can drive past as usual.
