Question 6564
What behavior must you avoid as a driver to reduce the risk of hitting pedestrians?
- Slowing down when passing a bus that passengers are getting off.
- Wearing sunglasses to avoid glare at sunrise and sunset.
- Parking on the sidewalk.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Parking on the sidewalk.
Parking on the sidewalk forces pedestrians to walk on the roadway, where they could be hit. In the image, the blue passenger car is blocking the sidewalk, and the man with the bags is walking on the roadway. Sunglasses help reduce glare, and slowing down next to a bus that people are getting off is the right thing to do.
