Question 5835
When meeting a pedestrian, the lateral distance the vehicle must leave is...
- enough to meet the pedestrian safely.
- at least 2 meters.
- at least 1 meter.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: enough to meet the pedestrian safely.
In the image, the pedestrian is walking along the edge of the road toward the car. When you meet a pedestrian coming toward you, the rule sets no fixed distance, and you must leave enough lateral clearance to do so safely. The 1.5-meter minimum applies when passing a pedestrian traveling in the same direction.
