Question 6563
One of the driver violations that poses the greatest risk to pedestrians is...
- not wearing seat belts.
- speeding on freeways.
- parking on the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk in the roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: parking on the sidewalk, forcing pedestrians to walk in the roadway.
Parking on the sidewalk forces pedestrians to step onto the roadway to get past, among moving cars. In the image, the blue car is blocking the sidewalk, and the man with the bag is walking on the roadway. Driving fast on a freeway or not wearing a seat belt mainly endangers people in cars, because pedestrians do not use freeways.
