Question 7738
How can you avoid hitting pedestrians?
- By paying attention to garage exits, especially when they are on a ramp.
- By making exaggerated and shrill horn sounds at them.
- By gesturing to them to cross the roadway.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: By paying attention to garage exits, especially when they are on a ramp.
Garage exits, especially those with ramps, are common places for pedestrians to be struck. Pull out slowly, keep the car under control and yield to anyone walking on the sidewalk. In the picture, the blue passenger car is leaving the garage and a woman is walking in front of it. Honking or gesturing for pedestrians to cross does not prevent them from being struck.
